1. Emma spent 112 times the amount Sarah spent studying, so Emma spent 112 * 3512 = 393,344 minutes studying.
2. The middle school band has 29 times fewer members than the high school band, so the middle school band has 502 / 29 = 17.31 members. Since we can't have a fraction of a band member, we can round that to 17 members.
3. If 6 members share 34 of a cake equally, each member will get 34 / 6 = 5.67 of a cake. Again, we can't have a fraction of a cake, so we can round that to each member getting 5 pieces of cake.
4. If there are 24 packets of sheet music in a folder and the chorus students decide to share 38 of them, they will share 38 packets.
5. If Celeste completed 56 of her science problems and her mom checked 23 of the assignment, her mom checked 23 / 56 = 0.41 or 41% of the assignment.
6. If Paige decided to paint 45 of the rooms in her home last year and she completed 23 rooms, she painted 23 / 45 = 0.51 or 51% of her home last year.
how many minutes and hours did she spend
Sarah spent 3512 minutes studying.
Dividing 3512 by 60, we get 58 hours and 32 minutes.
Therefore, Sarah spent 58 hours and 32 minutes studying.

Sarah spent 35 1/2 minutes studying.
To find 1 1/2 times that amount, we multiply 35 1/2 by 1 1/2.
35 1/2 * 1 1/2 = 53 1/4
Therefore, Emma spent 53 1/4 minutes studying.

The middle school band has 2/9 as many members as the high school band, which has 502 members.
To find the number of members in the middle school band, we calculate 2/9 * 502.
(2/9) * 502 = 111.56
Therefore, there are approximately 112 members in the middle school band.

To divide a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number.
(3/4) ÷ 6 = (3/4) * (1/6) = 3/24 = 1/8
Therefore, each member of the team will get 1/8 of the cake.

To multiply a whole number by a fraction, we multiply the whole number by the numerator and then divide by the denominator.
24 * (3/8) = (24 * 3) / 8 = 72 / 8 = 9
Therefore, the chorus students shared 9 packets.

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and then the denominators together:
(5/6) * (2/3) = (5 * 2) / (6 * 3) = 10/18 = 5/9
Therefore, Celeste's mom checked 5/9 of the assignment.
6. To find out what fraction of Paige's home was painted last year, we need to subtract the fraction of rooms Paige completed (2/5) from the fraction of rooms she decided to paint (4/5).
To subtract fractions, we find a common denominator and then subtract the numerators:
(4/5) - (2/5) = (4 - 2) / 5 = 2/5
Therefore, 2/5 of Paige's home was painted last year.

To subtract fractions, we find a common denominator and then subtract the numerators:
45 - 23 = 22
Therefore, 22/45 of Paige's home was painted last year.
So, the simplified fraction is:
22/45
To find out if two fractions are equivalent, we can cross-multiply and compare the products:
(22 * 15) = 330
(45 * 8) = 360
Since 330 is not equal to 360, we can conclude that 22/45 is not equivalent to 8/15.
Therefore, the correct fraction representing how much of Paige's home was painted last year is 22/45, not 8/15.
