Question

4) Allison practices her violin for at least 12 hours per week. She practices for three fourths of an hour each

session. If Allison has already practiced 3 hours this week, how many more sessions remain for her to meet
or exceed her weekly practice goal?

Answer 1

She needs to complete at least 16 lessons every week to reach 12 hours per week.
She has completed 3 hours / 4 lessons.
she needs to complete 12 more lessons to meet her weekly goal.

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

So, she practices 12 hrs per week, and already has practiced 3 hrs this week.

This means she has 9 hrs left to practice.

3/4 of an hour is one session, so to find out the number of sessions she needs, you have to do (9 hours)/(one session)

which is basically 9 / ( 3/4)

`(9)/(3/4)=(9)/(1) / (3)/(4) = (9)/(1) * (4)/(3) = (36)/(3) = 12`

She needs 12 more sessions.
