Question

Lori works as a cartoonist for a teen magazine.The time she spent sketching is given by the equation m=12s, where mis the number of minutes and s is the number of sketches. If lori made 3/4 of a sketch, she spent minutes sketching

Answer 1

Answer:

Lori spends 9 minutes on sketching $\frac{3}{4}$th of a sketch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$m=12\ s$

where $m\rightarrow$ number of minutes Lori spends on sketching

and $s\rightarrow$ number of sketches Lori makes.

We need to calculate the time spent by Lori in sketching $\frac{3}{4}$ of a sketch.

So we know the value of  $s=\frac{3}{4}$ as $s$ represents number of sketches and in this situation Lori has sketched only a fraction of a painting.

So we plugin $s=\frac{3}{4}$ in the equation and calculate $m$ which is time spent by Lori sketching $\frac{3}{4}$th of a sketch.

$m=12\ \frac{3}{4}$

$m=\frac{36}{4}$

∴ $m=9$ minutes (Answer)

∴ Lori spends 9 minutes on sketching $\frac{3}{4}$th of a sketch.
