Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The given hours are in mixed number format.
2. We need to convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions or decimals for easy addition.
3. The goal is to find the total number of hours Aashanti worked this week.

STEP 2

1. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions or decimals.
2. Add all the converted hours together.
3. Simplify the result if necessary.

STEP 3

Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction or decimal.
- 112 1 \frac{1}{2} converts to 32 \frac{3}{2} or 1.5 1.5 . - 234 2 \frac{3}{4} converts to 114 \frac{11}{4} or 2.75 2.75 . - 334 3 \frac{3}{4} converts to 154 \frac{15}{4} or 3.75 3.75 . - 4 4 remains 4 4 . - 512 5 \frac{1}{2} converts to 112 \frac{11}{2} or 5.5 5.5 .

STEP 4

Add all the converted hours together.
1.5+2.75+3.75+4+5.51.5 + 2.75 + 3.75 + 4 + 5.5

STEP 5

Calculate the sum:
1.5+2.75+3.75+4+5.5=17.51.5 + 2.75 + 3.75 + 4 + 5.5 = 17.5

STEP 6

The total number of hours worked is already simplified.
The total number of hours Aashanti worked this week is:
17.5 hours\boxed{17.5 \text{ hours}}
