Answer :

Answer: 13.5 hours.

I got the answer by simply adding up the integers to start with.

Integers = 1, 2, 3 and 5.

The integers added up equal to 11.

Next we add up the remaining fractions.

Fractions = 1/2, 3/4, 3/4 and 1/2.

We can add up 1/2 and 1/2 to equal 1, and 3/4 and 3/4 to make 1.5.

1 + 1.5 = 2.5          

Finally, we add up the answer for the integers and the fractions together, (11 + 2.5) which equals 13.5.

Our answer is 13.5 hours.      

(Not sure why the answer isn't in the choices)
