Over the course of four weeks, mia spent 35 1 2 hours training for a race. michael spent 1 1 2 times that amount training for the same race. how many hours did michael spend training? a) 49 1 2 hours b) 53 1 4 hours c) 71 hours d) 73 1 4 hours

The answer is 53 1/4. It is that answer because you need to multiply 1.5 x 35.5 and you get 53.25 or in mixed number form 53 25/100. Then you have to make sure to simplify your fractions, (in the lowest number possible). 25 divided by 25 is 1. 100 divided by 25 is 4. Making it 1/4. Therefore making the answer 53 1/4.

ANSWER:

53 1/4. Hope this helped, and made you understand this better. Have a great day. A thank you and (or) a brainliest is appreciated. (Only optional...). Goodbye!

Using the rise/run rule. you would get 2/6.simp. 1/3
