Question

James practiced Piano for 48 Minutes. Alisa practiced 5 times long as James. How many Minutes did Alisa Practice? how many minutes in all did James and Alisa practice? (write an Equation to model your work)

Answer 1

Answer:

Alisa practiced for 240 minutes (4 hours). In total, they practiced for 288 minutes (4.8 hours).

Step-by-step explanation:

If James practiced for 48, and Alisa practiced 5 times as long, then we would multiply 48 by 5 (240 minutes).

If we want to find how many minutes in total they practiced, then we would add 240 minutes (Alisa's practice time) and 48 minutes (James' practice time) together, which would equal 288 minutes (4.8 hours).

Equation: y=48+x
