Answer 1

Explanation:

Marco practiced for only 7/10 hour on Monday (less than the expected 1 1/4 hour) and 1 5/6 hours on Tuesdays.

What was the total number of hours spent by Marco on Monday and Tuesday?

What was the total number of hours that he was supposed to practice at minimum?

How much longer did he actually practice, total, on Monday and Tuesday (or, if applicable, what was the deficit)?

Answer 2

We know that Marco practice
`(7)/(10)` hours on Monday. He practiced
`1(5)/(6)` hours on Tuesday, and he is supposed to practice
`1(1)/(4)` hours each day. So, a question would be, how many hours more Marco practiced on Tuesday than on Monday.

To answer this question, we have to find the difference between the hours he practiced each day

`1(5)/(6)-(7)/(10)=(11)/(6)-(7)/(10)=(110-42)/(60) =(68)/(60)=(34)/(30)=(17)/(15)=1(2)/(15) \approx 1.13hr`

So, Marco practiced around an hour more on Tuesday than on Monday.
