Answer:

StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction of an hour

7/8 hour

Explanation:

Total movie time = 3 1/2 hours

Lily turned the movie off One-fourth of the way through,

1/4 of 3 1/2

= 1/4 ×7/2

= 7/8 hour

how much time did she spend watching it.

Time spent watching the movie = 3 1/2 hour - 7/8 hour

= 7/2 - 7/8

= 14-7/8

= 7/8 hour
