Hector's school is holding a fitness challenge. Students are encouraged to exercise at least [tex]$2 \frac{1}{2}$[/tex] hours per week. Hector exercises about the same number of hours each week. During a 4-week period, he exercises for [tex]$11 \frac{1}{2}$[/tex] hours. Hector wants to compare his exercise rate with the fitness challenge rate.

How many hours per week does Hector exercise?

[tex]\square[/tex] hour(s) per week

Answer :

Hector exercised a total of [tex]$11.5$[/tex] hours over a period of [tex]$4$[/tex] weeks. To find the average number of hours he exercised per week, we divide the total exercise time by the number of weeks. In mathematical terms:

[tex]$$
\text{Weekly Exercise} = \frac{11.5}{4} \, \text{hours}
$$[/tex]

Performing the division, we get:

[tex]$$
\frac{11.5}{4} = 2.875 \, \text{hours per week}
$$[/tex]

Thus, Hector exercises about [tex]$2.875$[/tex] hour(s) per week.
