Answer 1

Sean practices 8 hours and 45 minutes.

Explanation:

1/2 x 5=2.5= 2 hours and 30 minutes

1 1/4=5/4 x 5= 6.25= 6 hours and 15 minutes

2 hours and 30 minutes + 6 hours and 15 minutes= 8 hours and 45 minutes.

Sean practices 8 hours and 45 minutes.

Answer 2

Practice done Before school = for 1/2 hour

Practice done after school = for 1¼ hour = 5/4 hour

Total Practice done = for 1/2 hour + 5/4 hour = 2+5/4 hours = 7/4 hours .

Practice done in 5 days = for 7×5/4 hours = 35/4 hours = 8¾ hours
