To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, we need to multiply Sarah's study time by 1 1/2.
35 1/2 minutes * 1 1/2 = 53 1/4 minutes

To find out how many members are in the middle school band, we need to multiply the number of members in the high school band by 2/9.
502 members * 2/9 = 111.333
Since we can't have a fraction of a band member, we round to the nearest whole number.
111
Therefore, there are approximately 111 members in the middle school band.
How much cake will each member of the team get if 6 members share 3/4of a cake equally?(1 point)
Responses
1/6 sixth
1/4 fourth
1/8 eighth
1/3
To find out how much cake each member of the team will get, we need to divide the amount of cake (3/4) by the number of team members (6).
3/4 cake / 6 members = 1/8 cake
Therefore, each member of the team will get 1/8 of a cake.
Celeste completed 5/6of her science problems. Her mom checked 2/3of the assignment. What fraction of the assignment did her mom check?(1 point)
Responses
5/4 fourths
1/6 sixth
5/9 ninths
1/3
To find out what fraction of the assignment Celeste's mom checked, we need to multiply Celeste's completion fraction (5/6) by the fraction of the assignment her mom checked (2/3).
(5/6) * (2/3) = 10/18
We can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
10/18 = 5/9
Therefore, Celeste's mom checked 5/9 of the assignment.
