Question
Answer:
Hi There :)Let's first determine each of the fractions of the times before adding them
1/4 of 60 is 15
1/3 of 60 is 20
1/2 of 60 is 30
So, let's add up all the times
On Monday, he practiced for 3/4 of an hour, which would equal 45 minutes
On Tuesday, he practiced for 1/2 an hour, which equals 30 minutes
On Wednesday, he practiced for 1 hour, which equals 60 minutes
On Thursday, he practiced for 1/4 of an hour, which equals 15 minutes
On Friday, he practiced for 1/3 of an hour, which equals 20 minutes
Now, let's add up the totals
45+30+60+15+20 = 120 minutes
120 minutes = 2 hours
So, Chris practiced for 2 hours this week!
