Here we must work with algebra and mixed numbers to see how much time Rosa plays basketball each day. We will see that she plays basketball for (1 + 1/3) hours each day.
So we know that:
Per week ( 7 days) Rosa spends (21 + 7/12) hours reading or playing basketball.
We also know that she reads (1 + 3/4) hours per day.
Then in one week, she reads 7 times that amount, or:
7*(1 + 3/4) hours
We can write the mixed number as a single fraction:
7*(1 + 3/4) hours = 7*(4/4 + 3/4) hours = 7*(7/4) hours = (49/4) hours.
Then the total time in a week that she spends playing basketball is:
(21 + 7/12) hours - (49/4) hours
We can write the first one as a fraction:
(252/12 + 7/12) hours - (49/4) hours
(259/12) hours - (49/4) hours.
To perform the subtraction, both numbers must have the same denominator, then we multiply and divide the second fraction by 3:
(259/12) hours - (3/3)*(49/4) hours.
(259/12) hours - (147/12) hours = (112/12) hours
This in 7 days playing basketball, then if we want to see how much time she plays each day, we must divide that by 7:
((112/12) hours)/7 = (112/(7*12)) hours = (16/12) hours = (12/12 + 4/12) hours
= (1 + 1/3) hours
So each day she plays basketball for (1 + 1/3) hours
