training.

Explanation:

Over the course of four weeks Mia spent 35 1 2 hours training for a race. This can be written in decimal point as 35.5 hours.

Michael spent 1 1 2 times that amount training for the same race. Converting 1 1 2 to decimal, it becomes 1.5 hours.

This means that the number of hours that Michael spent training will be 35.5 × 1.5 = 53.25 hour.

Converting 53.25 hours to mixed fraction, it becomes

53 1/4 hours
