Answer: 3/4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Target hours = 4 1/2 hours = 9/2 hours

Number of hours so far:

(1 1/2 + 1 1/4 + 1) = (3/2 + 5/4 + 1) hours

Total so far:

L. C. M of denominator = 4

(6 + 5 + 4) / 4 = 15/4

Number of hours left to meet his target equals:

Target hours - total so far

(9/2 - 15/4)

L. C. M of denominator = 4

(18 - 15) / 4 = 3/4 hours
