To find the number of minutes Emma spent studying, we need to multiply the amount Sarah studied by 1 1/2.
First, convert 35 1/2 minutes to a mixed number: 35 1/2 = 71/2
Next, multiply 71/2 by 1 1/2: (71/2) * (3/2) = 213/4 = 53 1/4 minutes
Therefore, Emma spent 53 1/4 minutes studying.
can this be simplified
Yes, 53 1/4 minutes can be simplified. The fractional part, 1/4, can be expressed as a decimal by dividing 1 by 4, which equals 0.25. Therefore, the simplified answer is 53.25 minutes.
can this be simplified as a fraction
Yes, 53 1/4 minutes can be simplified as a fraction. To simplify the mixed number, we need to convert it to an improper fraction. The whole number, 53, can be multiplied by the denominator of the fraction, which is 4, and then we add the numerator, which is 1. This gives us (53 * 4) + 1 = 213.
So, the simplified fraction is 213/4.

To find the approximate number of members in the middle school band, we can multiply the number of members in the high school band by the fraction that represents the ratio of middle school members to high school members.
The high school band has 502 members and the middle school band has 2/9 as many members.
To find the number of middle school band members, we multiply 502 by 2/9:
502 * 2/9 = (2 * 502)/(9) = 1004/9
To get an approximate answer, we can divide 1004 by 9:
1004 ÷ 9 ≈ 111.5555556
Therefore, there are approximately 112 members in the middle school band.
how much cake will each member of the team get if 6 members share 3/4 of a cake equally
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 members (6).
First, we need to convert the fraction 3/4 into a decimal: 3/4 = 0.75
Now, we divide 0.75 by 6 to find out how much each member will get:
0.75 ÷ 6 = 0.125
Therefore, each member of the team will get approximately 0.125 or 1/8 of a cake.
