Answer 1

Total number of hours she worked is, 12.5 hours

Explanation:

Given statement: Phyllis Doran worked at Symmes Medical Center for
`7(1)/(2)` hours on Monday and from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. On Tuesday.

Number of hours she worked on Monday =
`7(1)/(2)` =
`(15)/(2)` hours.

and

Number of hours she worked On Tuesday = 5 hours.

Total hours =
`(15)/(2) + 5 = (15+10)/(2) = (25)/(2) = 12.5 hours`

Therefore, total number of hours she worked is, 12.5 hours
