amistre64 · Answer

can you rewrite 9  3/4 as an improper fraction?

amistre64 · Answer

or maybe even as a decimal would be fine

amistre64 · Answer

if have the total hours, and divide them by 4 we can determine 3 of those quarters as the time awake, and divide it in half since half that time was watching movies
$$[(total\div 4)\times3]\div2$$
