By the end of the day, you have determined that you spent 34 of an hour waiting in a roller coaster line, 1 15 hours waiting in a water ride line, and 23 of an hour waiting in a theater show line. How many hours did you spend waiting in line?(2 points) Responses 1 3760 hours 1 3760 hours 2 3760 hours 2 3760 hours 2 12 hours 2 12 hours 3 3340 hours

1 answer

To calculate the total time spent waiting in line, let's first convert the waiting times into hours.

  1. Roller Coaster Line: \( \frac{3}{4} \) hours (34 of an hour) is equal to 0.75 hours.
  2. Water Ride Line: \( 1 \frac{1}{5} \) hours can be converted to improper fraction:
    \( 1 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \) hours, which is 1.2 hours.
  3. Theater Show Line: \( \frac{2}{3} \) hours.

Now, we can add these times together:

\[ 0.75 + 1.2 + \frac{2}{3} \]

First, let's convert \( \frac{2}{3} \) to a decimal:

\[ \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.6667 \]

Now adding:

\[ 0.75 + 1.2 + 0.6667 \approx 0.75 + 1.2 = 1.95 \] \[ 1.95 + 0.6667 \approx 2.6167 \]

Rounding to two decimal places, we find:

\[ \text{Total time spent waiting in line} \approx 2.62 \text{ hours} \]

However, looking at the options you provided:

  • 1: 3.760 hours
  • 2: 3.760 hours
  • 2: 12 hours
  • 3: 3340 hours

Since none of these match with 2.62 hours, it’s possible the responses you provided may contain an error, or the original waiting time data might have required a different interpretation. Please double-check the original wait times for accuracy.
