Answer: He needs a minimum of 2011.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for Gavin to get his private pilot certificate he must fly solo.

He must fly a minimum of 2020 hours with his plane instructor before he can fly solo.

He has already flown 8 3/4 hours with his instructor. This is express as 8hours + (3/4 * 1) = 8.75 hours

To determine how many more flying hours that he needs before he can fly solo, we will subtract the number of hours that he had flown from the the minimum of 2020 hours. it becomes

2020 - 8.75 = 2011.25.

He needs a minimum of 2011.25 hours
