Answer:

5.5 Hours

Explanation:

During work hours, If you'd work for 5 Hours and 30 minutes, you'd write 5.5

That's like saying 5.25 would be 5.15 Hours for example

:D

Goodluck!

Answer:

She can write

5 1/2 hours or 5.5 hours.

Explanation:

Explanation:

The problem with writing time is that there are two systems.

The decimal system is based on powers of 10, while the time system is based on 60.

Amelia cannot write 5.3 this would mean 5 3/10 hours.

30 minutes is 30/ 60 = 1/2=0.5 of an hour

She needs to show 5 full hours and 1 /2 hour.

5 30/60 hours.

She can write

5 1/2 hours or 5.5 hours.
