    i did it like this

    1/2x24=24/2=12 hours

    1/2x60=60/2 (12x21=504(divided by)2=252)as minutes

    1/2x21=21/2 as my fraction

    so 12+252=164+6=170/60

    170/60 /270 minutes/2 hours and 1/2

    1 week= 1:30. or 90 mins. times 90 by 3 = 270
    270 over 60 or 270 mins, or 4 and a 1/2 hours.

    Mr.Baxter goes to the gym for 9 days in the 3 weeks. 4 and a half hours (4 1/2).

    hours = 4 1/2
    minutes = 270
    270/60 (fraction)
