Final answer:

Eleanor practices piano for ¾ of an hour daily, totaling to 5¼ hours of practice over the course of a seven-day week.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how long Eleanor practices piano in a week, we need to multiply the daily practice time by the number of days she practices in a week.

Eleanor practices for ¾ hour every day. There are 7 days in a week. So, her total weekly practice time will be:

¾ hour/day × 7 days/week = ⅔× 7 hours/week

To perform the multiplication, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

¾ becomes 3/4 because it is already a fraction

Now, multiply the fractions:

3/4 × 7/1 = 21/4 hours

To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator:

21 ÷ 4 = 5 with a remainder of 1. So, 21/4 hours is equal to 5¼ hours.

Therefore, Eleanor practices for 5¼ hours in a week.
