thx it corrant

To find the average time Abby spent on each math problem, you need to divide the total time she spent by the number of problems.

Step 1: Convert the mixed number 5 1/2 to an improper fraction.
5 1/2 = 11/2

Step 2: Divide the total time (11/2 minutes) by the number of problems (5).
(11/2) ÷ 5 = (11/2) × (1/5) = 11/10

Step 3: Simplify the fraction, if possible.
11/10 cannot be simplified any further.

So, Abby spent an average of 11/10 minutes on each math problem.
