Answer: 3/8 longer or 2 times longer or 22.5 minutes longer on Monday depending on the type of answer they want.

Step-by-step explanation: 3/8 longer or 2 times longer Explanation is: Gotta find common denominator Common denominator is 8 6/8 on Monday and 3/8 on Tuesday so difference of 3/8 or twice as long 22.5 Minutes Longer explanation is: 3/4 of an hour is 45 minutes (60/4=15x3=45) 3/8 of an hour is 7.5 minutes (60/8=7.5x3=22.5) So 45-22.5= 22.5 minutes longer on Monday. In fraction form its 9/40.

Answer: 22.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: On Monday Georgia practiced for 3/4 of an hour and on Tuesday she practiced for 3/8 of an hour. The difference between those two is 3/8 of an hour and when you take 3/8 of 60 minutes you get 22.5 minutes
