Question

Briana spend 1/5 of her free time listening to music. If she spends 48 hours permonth listening to music, how much total free time does she have each month?

Answer 1

Step 1:

Briana spends 1/5 of her free time listening to music.

She spends 48 hours monthly listening to music.

Step 2:

Let's write our equation this way:

Let x to represent the total free time in hours Briana has each month

1/5 * x = 48

Step 3: Let's solve for x

x/5 = 48

Multiplying by 5 at both sides:

x/5 * 5 = 48 * 5

x = 240

Step 4: Let's interpret the result

Briana has 240 hours of free time per month
