Question

Leilani practiced piano for 3/5 of an hour. Sarah practiced piano for 7/8 of an hour.

How much longer did Sarah practice than Leilani? Simplify

Answer 1

The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani is
`(11)/(40)` hours .

Explanation:

Given as :

The time for which Leilani practiced piano =
`(3)/(5)` hours

The time for which Sarah practiced piano =
`(7)/(8)` hours

Let the number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani = T hours

Now, According to question

The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani =
`(7)/(8)` hours -
`(3)/(5)` hours

Or, T =
`(35-24)/(40)` hours

Or, T =
`(11)/(40)` hours

So,The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani = T =
`(11)/(40)` hours

Hence, The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani is
`(11)/(40)` hours . Answer
