Answer:

[tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Devon records reality shows on her dvr for the time of = 4 hours

She records comedy shows [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of the amount of time.

The time of recording comedy shows =  [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of 4 hours

                                                               = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] × 4

                                                               = [tex]\frac{12}{8}[/tex]

                                                               = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

                                                               = [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours

The number of hours of comedy shows that Devon records is [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours or 1.5 hours.
