Becky spent 2/3 of her piano practice time on her recital piece. If she spent 25 min. on other pieces, how many hours did Becky spend practicing?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Becky spend 1.25 hours in piano practicing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that Becky spends x hours in practicing piano.

If she spent [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of her piano practice time on her recital piece.  

Then she spent [tex]\frac{2x}{3}[/tex] hours on her recital piece.

So, she spent [tex](x- \frac{2x}{3} )= \frac{x}{3}[/tex] hours on other pieces.

Now, given that [tex]\frac{x}{3} =25[/tex]

⇒ x = 75 minutes = 1.25 hours

Therefore, Becky spend 1.25 hours in piano practicing. (Answer)
