Jared bought a cell phone for $42. Juanita spent 1 1/2 times as much. How much did she spend?
1 1/2= 3/2
3/2*41/1= 123/2
123/2=61.5 or 61 1/2
Thats the answer incase of a plot twist.
To find out how much Juanita spent on the cell phone, we need to multiply the amount Jared spent by 1 1/2. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Convert 1 1/2 into an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (2) and add the numerator (1) to get 3. So 1 1/2 is equal to 3/2.
Step 2: Multiply the amount Jared spent ($42) by the fraction 3/2.
$42 * (3/2) = $63.
Therefore, Juanita spent $63 on the cell phone.
