Question

Julieta reads for 3/4 of an hour for 6 days in a row. How much time does she

spent reading altogether?

Answer 1

Julieta reads for a total of 4.5 hours over 6 days by reading 3/4 of an hour each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the total amount of time Julieta spends reading if she reads for 3/4 of an hour for 6 days in a row. To find this total, we multiply the amount of time she spends reading in one day by the number of days:

• Time spent reading per day = 3/4 hour
• Number of days = 6

Step-by-step multiplication:

1. Multiply the fraction 3/4 by the number of days 6.
2. (3/4) x 6 = 18/4
3. Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 4.
4. 18/4 = 4 + 2/4
5. Since 2/4 is equal to 1/2, we rewrite the sum.
6. 4 + 1/2 = 4.5 hours

Therefore, Julieta spent a total of 4.5 hours reading over the 6 days.
