Answer:

The correct option is B

(-1)(1/2)(-1)(1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to notice is that there is are two brackets with negative values, which means that the result must also be positive (or have two brackets with negative values).

Looking at the options, we can screen out options A and D, they have three brackets with negative values, and can't be chosen.

It is now between options B and C.

Option B, by inspection is simply 1/2

Option C is 12/4 = 3

The problem itself is 12/35

12/24 = 1/2

12/36 = 1/3

Since 12/35 is about 1/3, it is closer to 1/2 than 3, so 1/2 is the best option.

Answer:

1 and 1/8 hours or

Step-by-step explanation:

Natasha spent one and a half hours on the beach, which can be rewritten as 3/2 hours. Out of that time, she spent 3/4 sleeping. The total time she spent sleeping on the beach is determined by the product of the amount of time she spent on the beach by the fraction of that time she spent asleep:

$T=\frac{3}{2} * \frac{3}{4}\\T=\frac{9}{8} \\T=1 + \frac{1}{8}$
