Answer 2

Paige, 10 3/4

Explanation:

To figure out this problem, first you would want to get the total amount of time each girl spends on lessons. Since Paige does lessons 5 days a week for 2 1/4 each day, you would multiply 5 and 2 1/4. This equals 11 1/4 hours.

For Maggie, you would need to multiply 2 times 1/4. This equals 1/2 hours.

Paige spends more hours on lessons. She spends 10 3/4 more hours than Maggie.
