Question

I read 1/2 hour each day for 5 days how many hours did i read in 5 days

Answer 1

(1/2) + (1/2) + (1/2) + (1/2) + (1/2)

1 + 1 + (1/2)

2 1/2

Answer 2

If you read for ½ hour every day for 5 days, the total hours read is calculated by multiplying ½ by 5. To do this, we first convert the whole number 5 into a fraction. Since a fraction is a part of a whole, a whole number can be written as a fraction by placing the whole number in the numerator and 1 in the denominator. The 1 indicates that the number is already a whole number and doesn't need to be divided into parts (written as 5/1). Next, we multiply both fractions: ½ * 5/1. This equals 5/2. However, 5/2 is an improper fraction and needs to be simplified. When simplified, the answer is 2 ½ or 2.5. Therefore, the total hours read over 5 days is 2 ½ or 2.5 hours.

Answer 3

To find out how many hours you read in 5 days, you multiply the number of hours you read each day (1/2 hour) by the number of days (5):

1/2 hour per day × 5 days = 2.5 hours

So, you read a total of 2.5 hours in 5 days.

Answer 4

To multiply a whole number, like 5, by a fraction, multiply the whole number by the numerator (top number in the fraction.) Keep the denominator the same.

5 * 1/2 = 5/2 Hours.

Convert to a decimal by dividing 5 by 2.

5/2 = 2.5 hours.
