Question

Margo practices her flute 1/4 hour each day. How many hours does Margo practice her flute in 1 week

Answer 1

Margo practice
`(7)/(4)` hours each week.

Explanation:

You know that Margo practices
`(1)/(4)` hour each day, then you can use a rule of three.

If Margo practice
`(1)/(4)` hour each day, then how many hours does she practice in 7 days (1 week).

1 day ⇒
`(1)/(4)hour`

7 days ⇒
`x`

`x=(7.(1)/(4))/(1) \\\\x=7.(1)/(4)\\\\x=(7)/(4) hours`.

Then, Margo practice
`(7)/(4)` hours each week.

Answer 2

1 3/4 hours

Explanation:

There are 7 days in a week, so we will multiply by 7 days

7 * 1/4 = 7/4 hours

Changing this to a mixed number

1 3/4 hours
