Question

The 7th graders in the middle school are going on a field trip to the aquarium. They will spend 4 ¼ hours walking inside of the aquarium and 1 ½ hours eating inside the aquarium. How long do the 7th graders spend altogether walking inside and eating inside the aquarium?

Answer 1

The answer is 5.

Explanation:

17 / 4 + 3 / 4 =

(17 × 4) + (3 × 4)

4 × 4 = 80 / 16 =

80 ÷ 16

16 ÷ 16

= 5
