Correct question:
Every day Kim practice volleyball and clarinet each day she practices volleyball for 2.5 hours if after 8 days she practices both volleyball and the clarinet for a total of 36 hours how many hours per day did Kim practice clarinet.
Answer: 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Everyday Kim practices volleyball and clarinet = v/ball + clarinet
Everyday volleyball practice = 2.5hours
That is clarinet(hours) + 2.5 hours of volleyball
After 8 day, total practice hours of both volleyball and clarinet equals 36 hours
The above information can be represented mathematically as thus:
Let h = hours per day of clarinet
8(h + 2.5) = 36
8h + 20 = 36
8h = 36 - 20
8h = 16
h = 16/8
h = 2
1) It's best to draw out a picture of a rectangle and label each corner with the coordinates given: Let's say (-5, 2) is point A, (-5, -2 1/3) is point B, (2 1/2, 2) is point C, and (2 1/2, -2 1/3) is point D.
2) That being said, line AB is one side of the rectangle, BC is another, CD is another, and lastly, AD is the fourth side.
3) We can use the distance formula and plug in the coordinates of each line to find how long every side is. Then you just need to solve it.
For example: if I want to find how long side AB is, I would use the point A (-5, 2) and B (2 1/2, 2) and plug them into the distance formula, where (-5, 2) is (x1, x2) and (2 1/2, 2) is (x2, y2) and solve that.
4) Repeat this process with side BC, CD, and AD, and add the results together. This will be your final answer; the perimeter of the rectangle.
