1
6
of an hour. If Clare has 1
1
2
hours to spend at the gym, how many times can she go through her workout cycle?

Answer 1

3

Answer 2

To find out how many times Clare can go through her workout cycle, we need to add up the time she spends running and lifting weights:

1/3 hour + 1/6 hour = 1/2 hour

Since Clare has 1/2 hour to spend at the gym, she can go through her workout cycle once.

Answer 3

I apologize for the error in my previous response. You are correct.

If Clare's workout cycle consists of running for 1/3 of an hour and lifting weights for 1/6 of an hour, the total time for one workout cycle is:

1/3 hour + 1/6 hour = (2/6 + 1/6) hour = 3/6 hour = 1/2 hour

Since Clare has 1 1/2 hours to spend at the gym, she can go through her workout cycle:

1 1/2 hours / 1/2 hour = (3/2) / (1/2) = 3 times

Clare can go through her workout cycle 3 times.
