Answer 2

`17(1)/(2)` hours did you work.

Explanation:

As per the statement:

You worked these hours this week:

`1(1)/(2)`,
`2(3)/(4)`,
`3(3)/(4)`, 4,
`5(1)/(2)`

Changed this mixed fraction into fraction:

we have;

`(3)/(2), (11)/(4), (15)/(4), 4, (11)/(2)`

We have to find how many hours did you work.

`\text{Total hours you work} = (3)/(2)+(11)/(4)+(15)/(4)+4+(11)/(2) = (6+11+15+16+22)/(4)`

Simplify:

`\text{Total hours you work} =(70)/(4) = (35)/(2) = 17(1)/(2)` hours

Therefore,
`17(1)/(2)` hours did you work.
