Answer:

1 1/2 hours = 90 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Devon records 4 hours of reality shows on her dvr she records comedy shows 3/8 of that amount of time. Devon watches all the reality and comedy shows in half hour sittings. Find the number of hours of comedy shows that Devon records

Total hours of reality show = 4

Comedy shows = 3/8 of 4 hours

Number of hours of comedy shows that Devon records = 3/8 of 4 hours

= 3/8 × 4

= 12 / 8

= 1 4/8

= 1 1/2

Number of hours of comedy shows that Devon records = 1 1/2 hours

There are 60 minutes in an hour

1 1/2 hours = 1 1/2 × 60 minutes

= 3/2 × 60

= 180 / 2

= 90 minutes

Therefore,

1 1/2 hours = 90 minutes
