There are 5 shifts per day

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, A swimming pool is open for 7\frac{1}{2} hours a day

The pool keeps one life guard on duty at a time

Each life guard shift is 1\frac{1}{2} hours long

<em><u>To find: Number of shifts per day</u></em>

From given,

\text{ Number of hours } =7\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 7 + 1}{2} = \frac{15}{2}

\text{Each life guard shift }= 1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \text{ hours }

Therefore, number of shifts per day is found by dividing total number of hours by hours of each life guard shift

\text{Number of shifts per day } = \frac{\text{Total number of hours}}{\text{each life guard shift }}

Substituting the values we get,

\text{Number of shifts per day } = \frac{\frac{15}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}\\\\\text{Number of shifts per day } = \frac{15}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}\\\\\text{Number of shifts per day } = 5

Thus there are 5 shifts per day

Now,

5 times x = 34.5

So,

5x = 34.5

34.5 ÷ 5 = x
