Answer:

The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani is
(11)/(40) hours .

Explanation:

Given as :

The time for which Leilani practiced piano =
(3)/(5) hours

The time for which Sarah practiced piano =
(7)/(8) hours

Let the number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani = T hours

Now, According to question

The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani =
(7)/(8) hours -
(3)/(5) hours

Or, T =
(35-24)/(40) hours

Or, T =
(11)/(40) hours

So,The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani = T =
(11)/(40) hours

Hence, The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani is
(11)/(40) hours . Answer
