Over the course of four weeks Mia spent 35 1/2

Question

hours training for a race. Michael spent 1 1/2
times that amount training for the same race. How many hours did Michael spend training?

Answer 1

To find out how many hours Michael spent training, we need to multiply Mia's training time by 1 1/2.

First, we convert Mia's training time of 35 1/2 hours to an improper fraction: 35 1/2 = 71/2.

Then, we multiply that number by 1 1/2: 71/2 * 3/2 = (71*3)/(2*2) = 213/4.

Therefore, Michael spent 213/4 hours training for the race.
