Question

Lori works as a cartoonist for a teen magazine.The time she spent sketching is given by the equation m=12s, where mis the number of minutes and s is the number of sketches. If lori made 3/4 of a sketch, she spent minutes sketching

Answer 1

Lori spends 9 minutes on sketching
`(3)/(4)`th of a sketch.

Explanation:

Given equation:

`m=12\ s`

where
`m\rightarrow` number of minutes Lori spends on sketching

and
`s\rightarrow` number of sketches Lori makes.

We need to calculate the time spent by Lori in sketching
`(3)/(4)` of a sketch.

So we know the value of
`s=(3)/(4)` as
`s` represents number of sketches and in this situation Lori has sketched only a fraction of a painting.

So we plugin
`s=(3)/(4)` in the equation and calculate
`m` which is time spent by Lori sketching
`(3)/(4)`th of a sketch.

`m=12\ (3)/(4)`

`m=(36)/(4)`

∴
`m=9` minutes (Answer)

∴ Lori spends 9 minutes on sketching
`(3)/(4)`th of a sketch.
