Question

How many days did Amelia record the the time she spent working in the yard ? Step

Answer 1

7) The times recorded, you count the number of strokes. Total number of strokes = 5 strokes.

8)

fractions (1/4, 3/4, 6/4, 6/4, 6/4)

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)+\text{ }(3)/(4)+\text{ 1}(2)/(4)+\text{ 1}(2)/(4)+\text{ 1}(2)/(4) \\ \text{Total whole number= 1+1+1= 3} \\ \text{Total fractions= }(1)/(4)+(3)/(4)+(2)/(4)+(2)/(4)+(2)/(4) \\ \text{Total fractions= }(1+3+2+2+2)/(4) \\ T\text{otal fractions= }(10)/(4) \\ \text{otal fractions= 2}(2)/(4)\text{ OR 2}(1)/(2)\text{ hours} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Total hours: 2+2}(1)/(2) \\ \text{Total hours: 5}(1)/(2)\text{ hours} \end{gathered}`

9) To calculate the average hours. We add all the hours and divide by 5

`\begin{gathered} 5(1)/(2)/5 \\ (11)/(2)/(5)/(1) \\ (11)/(2)*(1)/(5) \\ (11)/(10) \\ 1(1)/(10)\text{ hours} \end{gathered}`

Final answers:

7) 5 days

8) 5 and half hours

9) 1 and tenth hours
