1 answer

To find out how many hours per week Hector exercises, we need to divide the total number of hours he exercised during the four-week period by the number of weeks in that period.

11 1/2 hours / 4 weeks = 2 7/8 hours per week

Therefore, Hector exercises approximately 2 7/8 hours per week, which is slightly more than the recommended 2 1/2 hours per week.
