Answer 1

According to the given data we have the following:

Javier exercises for 2 1/2 hours every Saturday, hence, he exercises for 2.5 hours.

In order to calculate the amount of time he spend weightlifting we would make the following calculation:

amount of time he spend weightlifting=total training per day/2

amount of time he spend weightlifting=2.5 hours/2

amount of time he spend weightlifting=1.25 hours

Therefore, he spends weightlifting 1 hour and 25 minutes every saturday
