Yesterday, Sarah spent 35 1/2 minutes studying for a test. Emma spent 1 1/2 times that amount studying for a different test. How many minutes did Emma spend studying?(1 point)Responses

Answer 1

To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, we need to calculate 1 1/2 times 35 1/2 minutes.

To do this, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (2) and add the numerator (1).
1 x 2 = 2
2 + 1 = 3

So 1 1/2 is equal to 3/2.

Now we can multiply 35 1/2 minutes by 3/2 to find the answer.

35 1/2 x 3/2 = (35 x 2 + 1/2 x 2) x 3/2
= (70 + 1) x 3/2
= 71 x 3/2
= 213/2
= 106 1/2

Therefore, Emma spent 106 1/2 minutes studying.

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion caused by my previous response. It appears that there was an error in the calculation.

To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, we need to calculate 1 1/2 times 35 1/2 minutes again.

1 1/2 times 35 1/2 minutes can be calculated as:

1 1/2 = 3/2

35 1/2 x 3/2 = (35 x 2 + 1/2 x 2) x 3/2
= (70 + 1) x 3/2
= 71 x 3/2
= 213/2
= 106 1/2

Therefore, Emma spent 106 1/2 minutes studying. The correct answer is 106 1/2 minutes.

Answer 5

Apologies for the earlier incorrect response. Let's calculate the correct answer.

To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, we need to calculate 1 1/2 times 35 1/2 minutes.

1 1/2 is equal to 3/2.

To calculate 35 1/2 x 3/2, we multiply the whole number (35) by the whole number in the mixed fraction (3) and add that to the product of the whole number and the fraction (35 x 1/2).

35 x 3 = 105
35 x 1/2 = 35/2

Then add the two results:

105 + 35/2 = 105/1 + 35/2 = 210/2 + 35/2 = 245/2

So, Emma spent 245/2 minutes studying.

To simplify the answer, we divide the numerator (245) by the denominator (2):

245 ÷ 2 = 122 remainder 1

So, Emma spent 122 1/2 minutes studying.

Therefore, the correct answer is that Emma spent 122 1/2 minutes studying.
