Answer:
Sierra studied 3 hours
William studied 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
jonah studied 6 hours.
He also studied 3 hours longer than sierra meanining sierra studied 3 hours less than 6 hours.
So, 6 hours minus 3 hours is equals to 3 hours.
With that being said, Sierra has studied 3 hours.
Sierra = 3 hours
The question then states that Jonah studied 3 times as many hours as William.
Reminder: Jonah studied 6 hours in total.
This means that jonahs' hours (6 hours) is equals to 3 times williams hours (3x)
6 hours= 3x
x= williams hours
we divide both sides by 3 to see what x is equals to
in other words, we divide Jonahs' hours to see what williams hours are
With that being said, William studied for 2 hours
2 hours = x
