Final answer:

JM went to the gym 5 times and each boy's share of the mangoes is 1/8 bushel.


Explanation:

1. JM spent a total of 7 ½ hours at the gym.

Let x be the number of times he went to the gym.

1 ½ hours * x = 7 ½ hours

x = 7 ½ hours / 1 ½ hours = 5 times

Therefore, JM went to the gym 5 times.

2. Four boys picked ½ bushel of mangoes.

Each boy's share = Total amount picked / Number of boys

Each boy's share = ½ bushel / 4 boys = 1/8 bushel

Each boy's share is 1/8 bushel of mangoes.
