Question

Rodrigo practiced playing the guitar 15 1/3 hours over the past 3 weeks.

He practiced for 5 1/4 hours during the first week and 5 2/3 hours during the second week.
How much time did Rodrigo spend practicing during the third week? Use the numbers and symbols to select the equation that represents the problem. Then solve the equation. Symbols may be used more than once or not at all.
15 1/3, 5 1/4, 5 2/3, x, =, and +.

The equation that represents the problem is
a. 15 1/3 = x - 5 1/4 - 5 2/3
b. x = 15 1/3 + 5 1/4 + 5 2/3
c. x + 15 1/3 = 5 1/4 + 5 2/3
d. 15 1/3 = 5 1/4 + 5 2/3 + x

Answer 1

Answer: d. 15 1/3 = 5 1/4 + 5 2/3 + x

Explanation:

15 1/3 (total) = 5 1/4 (first week) +5 2/3 (second week) +x (third week)

When you add the amount of time Rodrigo practiced each week, you get the total amount of time he practiced

Answer 2

D, because we already know how much he spent in total so it isnt B, trust me its D
