$square$ hours

Explanation:

Step1: Find Saturday's workout time

Calculate 3 times $\frac{3}{4}$ hour.
$\frac{3}{4} \times 3 = \frac{9}{4}$ hours

Step2: Sum weekly workout time

Add Wednesday and Saturday times.
$\frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{4} = \frac{12}{4}$

Reduce the fraction to simplest form.
$\frac{12}{4} = 3$

Answer:

3 hours
