Yesterday, Sarah spent 35 1/2 minutes studying for a test. Emma spent 1 1/2 that amount studying for a different test. How many minutes did emma spend studying
To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, you need to multiply the amount Sarah spent by 1 1/2.
35 1/2 * 3/2 = 53 1/4 minutes.
Therefore, Emma spent 53 1/4 minutes studying.
To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, we need to calculate 1 1/2 of the time Sarah spent studying.
Step 1: Convert 35 1/2 into a mixed fraction.
35 1/2 = 70/2 + 1/2 = 71/2
Step 2: Calculate 1 1/2 of 71/2.
1 1/2 of 71/2 = (1 + 1/2) * 71/2 = (2/2 + 1/2) * 71/2 = 3/2 * 71/2 = 213/4.
So, Emma spent 213/4 minutes studying for a different test.
To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, we need to calculate 1 1/2 of the amount Sarah studied.
To do this, we will first convert the mixed number 1 1/2 into an improper fraction.
1 1/2 = (2 * 1 + 1) / 2 = 3/2
Now, we can find 1 1/2 of the amount Sarah studied by multiplying the fraction 3/2 with the amount Sarah studied, which is 35 1/2 minutes.
(35 1/2) * (3/2) = (71/2) * (3/2)
Now we multiply the numerators and denominators:
(71 * 3) / (2 * 2) = 213/4
So, Emma spent 213/4 minutes studying.
To get the answer in mixed number form, we can divide the numerator by the denominator:
213 รท 4 = 53 remainder 1
This means that the fraction becomes 53 1/4.
Therefore, Emma spent 53 1/4 minutes studying.
