Question

Michael sang 12 songs. Every song was 3/8 minutes long. For how much time did he sing in total? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Total time = (length of one song) x (number of songs)

Length of one song = 3/8 minutes

Number of songs = 12

Total time = (3/8) x 12

Total time = 36/8

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

Total time = 4 and 4/8 minutes

Total time = 4 and 1/2 minutes

Therefore, Michael sang for a total of 4 and 1/2 minutes.
