Leslie, Justine, Troy, and Suzie all went for a 2-hour walk with Leslie’s new puppy, Bandit. Each person held Bandit’s leash for an equal amount of time.
How long did each person hold Bandit’s leash?
Write your answer as a proper fraction or mixed number.
hours
To find out how long each person held Bandit’s leash, we start with the total time they walked, which is 2 hours. There are 4 people (Leslie, Justine, Troy, and Suzie) holding the leash.
1. Divide the total time by the number of people:
[
text{Time each person held the leash} = frac{2 text{ hours}}{4} = frac{2}{4} text{ hours}
]
2. Simplify the fraction:
[
frac{2}{4} = frac{1}{2} text{ hours}
]
So, each person held Bandit’s leash for ( frac{1}{2} ) hours.
