To answer a question of "how much longer", you need to find the difference between the two times. That is, you subtract the basketball practice time from the piano practice time:

... 3 3/4 hours - 1 2/3 hours

There are many ways to do this subtraction. Since these are time values, you can convert the fractional hours to minutes. You know that an hour is 60 minutes, so 3/4 hour is (3/4)·(60 min) = 45 minutes, and 2/3 hour is (2/3)·(60 minutes) = 40 minutes. Now the difference can be computed to be ...

... 3:45 hours - 1:40 hours = 2:05 hours, or 2 hours and 5 minutes

_____

Another way to do this subtraction is to convert the fractions to ones with the same denominator. You know that 12 is a multiple of both 4 and 3, so a denominator of 12 can be used for each of the fractions:

... 3/4 = (3/4)·(3/3) = 9/12

... 2/3 = (2/3)·(4/4) = 8/12

Then the time difference is ...

... 3 9/12 hours - 1 8/12 hours = 2 1/12 hours

Sine 1/12 hour is 5 minutes, these two computations are in agreement.

_____

Yet another way to subtract these mixed numbers is to let your calculator do it. Many graphing calculators have the ability to display answers either as a decimal or as a fraction. The attachment shows a fraction display. I'm not using a mixed-number input for this calculator, so I'm just adding the fraction to the integer part.

Summary: Eli practiced piano 2 1/12 hours longer.

At the fall festival, a booth is selling $5 meals and $10 meals. They sell 1000 meals in all and collect $3500. Which system of
Tamiku [17]

The system of equation that can be used to represent the number of meals sold is

x + y = 1000

5x + 10y = 3,500

Given:

Number of $5 meals sold = x

Number of $10 meals sold = y

Total number of meals = 1000

Total amount of meals = $3,500

The equations:

Quantity

x + y = 1000

Price

5x + 10y = 3,500

Therefore, the system of equation that can be used to represent the number of meals sold is

x + y = 1000

x + y = 10005x + 10y = 3,500
