Answer:
348(2)/(3) times.

Explanation:

Given : One size vinyl record ur a at a speed of
33(1)/(3) revolutions per minute.

In improper fraction:
33(1)/(3)=(3(33)+1)/(3)=(100)/(3)

Duration of song =
3(1)/(2) minutes

In improper fraction:
3(1)/(2)=(3(2)+1)/(2)=(7)/(2)

The number of revolutions: Speed x Time

=
(100)/(3)*(7)/(2)=(350)/(3)=348(2)/(3)

Hence, the record spin
348(2)/(3) times.
