Answer:
$(11)/(8)\ hr$

Explanation:

Given

Pamela spent
$2\ (3)/(4)\ hr$ watching television

Miranda watched half as many hours as Pamela did

Converting mixed fraction to fraction

$\Rightarrow 2\ (3)/(4)=(11)/(4)$

Half of it is Miranda watching time

$\Rightarrow ((11)/(4))/(2)=(11)/(8)\ hr\ \text{or}\ 1(3)/(8)\ hr$
