Question

Becky spent 2/3 of her piano practice time on her recital piece. If she spent 25 min. on other pieces, how many hours did Becky spend practicing?​

Answer 1

Becky spend 1.25 hours in piano practicing.

Explanation:

Let us assume that Becky spends x hours in practicing piano.

If she spent
`(2)/(3)` of her piano practice time on her recital piece.

Then she spent
`(2x)/(3)` hours on her recital piece.

So, she spent
`(x- (2x)/(3) )= (x)/(3)` hours on other pieces.

Now, given that
`(x)/(3) =25`

⇒ x = 75 minutes = 1.25 hours

Therefore, Becky spend 1.25 hours in piano practicing. (Answer)
