Pat studied 4 1/2 hours for his social studies test he studied half as long for his science test as he did for social studies test how long did he study for the science test
If Pat studied for 4 1/2 hours for his social studies test, then he studied for 4 1/2 * 1/2 = <<4+1/2*1/2=2 1/4>>2 1/4 hours for his science test. Answer: \boxed{2 \, \frac{1}{4}} \text{ hours}.
Patrica studied 4 1/2 hours for her social studies test she studied half as long for her science test as she did for social studies test how long did she study for the science test
If Patricia studied for 4 1/2 hours for her social studies test, then she studied for half as long for her science test, which is 4 1/2 * 1/2 = 9/2 * 1/2 = 9/4 = 2 1/4 hours.
To find out how long Pat studied for the science test, we need to determine half of the time he studied for the social studies test.
Pat studied for the social studies test for 4 1/2 hours. To find half of this amount, we divide it by 2:
4 1/2 hours / 2 = 2 1/4 hours
Therefore, Pat studied for 2 1/4 hours for the science test.
To find out how long Pat studied for the science test, we need to determine half the amount of time he studied for the social studies test.
Given that he studied for the social studies test for 4 1/2 hours, we need to find half of that time.
To do this, we divide 4 1/2 by 2.
First, we convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction:
4 1/2 = (4 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 9 / 2
Now, we divide 9 / 2 by 2:
(9 / 2) ÷ 2 = 9 / 4
Therefore, Pat studied for the science test for 9/4 hours or 2 1/4 hours.
