Answer 1

`12(1)/(2)` hours.

Explanation:

We have been given that 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.

Let us find the number of hours between 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.

There are 4 hours between 8:00 am to 12 noon and 1 hour from noon to 1:00 pm. So the total number of hours between 8:00 am to 1:00 pm is 5 hours.

Now let us find total number of hours worked by Phyllis Doran by adding 7 1/2 and 5.

`\text{The total number of hours Doran worked}=7(1)/(2)+5`

`\text{The total number of hours Doran worked}=12(1)/(2)`

Therefore, the total number of hours worked by Phyllis Doran is
`12(1)/(2)` hours.
