Answer :

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{11}{8}\ hr[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Pamela spent [tex]2\ \frac{3}{4}\ hr[/tex] watching television

Converting mixed fraction to fraction

[tex]\Rightarrow 2\ \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{11}{4}[/tex]

Half of it is Miranda watching time

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{\frac{11}{4}}{2}=\dfrac{11}{8}\ hr\ \text{or}\ 1\dfrac{3}{8}\ hr[/tex]
