Answer:
The total number of hours Jamie volunteered at a nursing home is 15 hours
Solution:
Jamie volunteered at a nursing home for 6 days.
She volunteered [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours each day at the nursing home.
We have been asked to find out the total number of hours she has volunteered at the nursing home.
We can rewrite [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in decimal form to simplify the calculation.
[tex]=2 \frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5[/tex]
Therefore, Jamie volunteered 2.5 hours at the nursing home each day.
To find out the total number of hours she has volunteered there, we have to do the following:
[tex]\text { Total hours volunteered }=\text { total no. of days volunteered } \times \text { no. of hours volunteered. }[/tex]
[tex]=6 \times 2.5=15[/tex]
So, the total number of hours Jamie volunteered at a nursing home is 15 hours.
