Candice spent 5 1/4 hours doing her homework. her brother, ronald, spent 1/2 that number of hours doing his homework. how many hours did ronald spend on his homework?

a.10/8
b.2 5/8
c.5 1/8
d.21/2

5 1/4 times 1/2 = 2.625. as a fraction 2.625 is 2 5/8 because  .625 could be drawn out to 625/1000 125 goes into 625 and 1,000    625 divided by 125 = 5 and 1,000 divided by 125 is 8 we already had 2 so 2 5/8

Hope I helped =)

You move the constant to the right side and change its sign to be 9z= -6 -8. that’s the first step.the second step would be calculate the difference of -8-6 to get -14. you equation should now be 9z=-14the last step is to divide both sides by 9 to get z=-14/9hope this
