Answer:
<em>Colin spends 1/8 of an hour practicing each song</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Colin's piano lesson is 3/4 of an hour, long.
In that period, he practices 6 different songs, spending an equal amount of time on each one.
This means that each song gets the sixth part of the lesson duration. The fraction that expresses that amount is:
Colin spends 1/8 of an hour practicing each song

<h3>Answer: 6</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
Rule: If a set has n elements in it, then it will have 2^n subsets.
For example, there are n = 3 elements in the set {a,b,c}. This means there are 2^n = 2^3 = 8 subsets. The eight subsets are listed below.
- {a,b,c} .... any set is a subset of itself
- {a,b}
- {a,c}
- {b,c}
- {a}
- {b}
- {c}
- { } ..... the empty set
Subsets 2 through 4 are subsets with exactly 2 elements. Subsets 5 through 7 are singletons (aka sets with 1 element). The last subset is the empty set which is a subset of any set. You could use the special symbol to indicate the empty set.

-------------------
The problem is asking what value of n will make 2^n = 64 true.
You could guess-and-check your way to see that 2^n = 64 has the solution n = 6.
Another approach is to follow these steps.
Which is fairly trivial.
Or you can use logarithms to solve for the exponent.
Due to rounding error, we don't land exactly on 6 even though we should.
