Answer: The time it takes Jim to drive to the beach is 2 1/8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time that it takes Pam to drive to the beach is 4 1/4 hours. Converting 4 1/4 hours into improper fraction, it becomes 17/4 hours

Jim can drive to the beach in 1/2 of the times it takes Pam. This means that the time it takes Jim to drive to the beach would be

1/2 × 17/4 = 17/8 hours.

Converting 17/8 hours to mixed fraction, it becomes 2 1/8 hours

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Pam to reach to beach = 4 1/4 = 17/4 hour

Time taken by Jim to reach beach = half the time taken by Pam

= 1/2 x 17/4 = 17/8 = 2.125 hour
