Question

Margo practices her flute 1/4 hour each day. Write and solve an equation to find how many hours Margo practices her flute in 1 week. Write and solve an equation to find how may minutes Margo practices her flute in 1 day. Then
use that to find the number of minutes she practices in 1 week.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: Write and solve an equation to find how many hours Margo practices her flute in 1 week.

Let the number of days = x

Margo practices her flute 1/4 hour each day.

Total number of hours = $\frac{1}{4}x$

Week = 7 days

So, the number of hours Margo practices her flute in 1 week = $\frac{1}{4}*7=\frac{7}{4}=\frac{4+3}{4}=1\frac{3}{4} \ hours$

Part B: Write and solve an equation to find how may minutes Margo practices her flute in 1 day.

Let the number of minutes = y

Total number of minutes = $\frac{1}{4} y$

Hour = 60 minutes

Substitute with y = 60

So, the number of minutes Margo practices her flute in 1 day =

$\frac{1}{4}*60=15$ minutes

The number of minutes she practices in 1 week = 15 * 7 = 105 minutes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Margo practices her flute 42 hours a week. She practices 360 minutes per day. 2520 minutes per week

Step-by-step explanation:

24 hours a day divided by 4 =6 6 x 7 days per week=42 hours. 6 hours x 60 minutes= 320 minutes. 320 minutes per day x 7 days =2520 minutes per week
