Question

After arguing for two weeks, Nora convinced her parents to have her birthday party at FlyZone trampoline park. As soon as she gets there, Nora spends time practicing flips on the trampolines. Then, she spends 1/2 of an hour eating birthday cake with her friends. In all, Nora spends 1 3/4 hours at FlyZone. Which equation can you use to find the amount of time Nora practices flips?

Solve this equation for (t) to find the amount of time Nora practices flips

To write a fraction.

Answer 1

t = 1 1/4 hours

Explanation:

Lets first make an equation to represent the situation. t + 1/2 = 1 3/4

Because we cant add fractions with different denominators we have to change 1/2 to 2/4.

Next, we need to isolate t. Subtract 2/4 from both sides of the equation to get 1 1/4.

t = 1 1/4.
