Robin and Jackson play rugby on the weekends. On Saturday they played 3 1/2 hours. On Sunday they played 3/4 of the time thye played on Saturday. What was the total time they played over the weekend in minutes and in hours

The answer to your question is: 2 hours 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Hours played on Saturday = 3 1/2

Hours played on Sunday = 3/4 of those of Saturday

Total time played = ?

Process

Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions

3 1/2 = (6 + 1) / 2 = 7/2

Calcula 3/4 of 7/2

7 / 2 x 3 / 4 = 21 / 8

Now, get the sum of the hours

7 / 2 + 21 / 8 = (28 + 21) / 8 = 49 / 21 = 7 / 3 hours

7/3 = 2 hours 20 minutes
