Question

Serenity practices the piano 1036 minutes in 4 weeks. If t represents the total time she practices for any number of days, d, write a proportional equation for t in terms of d that matches the context

Answer 1

The proportional equation is
`t = 37d`

Explanation:

Serenity practices the piano 1036 minutes in 4 weeks.

Each week has 7 days, so 4 weeks = 4*7 = 28 days.

The amount of minutes she practices per day is given by:

`(1036)/(28) = 37`

So, after d days, the total amount of time she will have practiced is given by:

`t = 37d`
