Azmyne decided to spend 6 1/2 hours studying over the weekend. She spent 1 1/4 hours studying on Friday evening and 2 2/3 hours

nata0808 [166]

Answer: $2\ \dfrac{7}{12}\ \text{hours}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Azmyne decided to study a total of $6\ \frac{1}{2}\ hours$

She spent $1\ \frac{1}{4}\ hours$ on Friday and $2\ \frac{2}{3}\ hours$ on Saturday

Hours spent on Friday

$\Rightarrow 1\ \frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}\ hours$

Hours spent on Saturday

$\Rightarrow 2\ \frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\ hours$

She must study for

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{13}{2}-\dfrac{5}{4}-\dfrac{8}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{13\times6-5\times3-8\times4}{12}=\dfrac{78-15-32}{12}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{31}{12}=2\ \frac{7}{12}\ \text{hours}$

72 is equal to 80% of a number n. Write and solve and equation to find n. Write the percent as a decimal

muminat

Hey there!!

80% = 80/100 = 0.8

80% of 'n' = 72

0.8n=72

n = 72/0.8

n = 90

Hence, the number is 80!

Hope it helps!
