Question

Television Videl watched 6 times as many hours of television over the weekend as Dineen. Together they watched a total of 14 hours of television. How many hours of television did each person watch over the weekend

Answer 1

We can make this into an equation. 6 times as many means Videl watched 6 times as many as Dineen, and Dineen watched x hours.
Thus, 6x+x=14. Isolate and solve for x.
7x=14
Divide by 7 on both sides.
x=2.
Videl watched 6*2 hours, or 12 hours of TV.
Dinnen watched 2 hours of TV.

Answer 2

2 Remainder 2 because 14 divided by 6 is 2 remainder 2
