The correct answer is 206 hours. Since Patricia studied half as long for her science test as she did for her Social Studies test, she studied 412/2 = 206 hours for her science test.
To find out how long Patricia studied for the science test, we need to divide the amount of time she studied for the Social Studies test by 2.
So, Patricia studied for the science test for 412 / 2 = 206 hours.
