Comparative Time Calculation Between Jenna and Angelina in Gymnastics Practice
Who practices more gymnastics each week? By how much more?
Jenna practices gymnastics with her class 1 3/4 hours per day two days a week. Angelina practices gymnastics 7/8 of an hour per day 3 days a week. Which of them practices more gymnastics each week? And by how much more?
Answer:
Jenna practices more gymnastics each week than Angelina by 7/8 of an hour.
Explanation:
In order to find out who, between Jenna and Angelina, practices more gymnastics each week, we need to multiply the amount of time they each practice daily by the number of days they practice per week.
Jenna practices 1 3/4 hours per day for two days, so she practices 3 1/2 hours a week (1 3/4 * 2). Angelina practices 7/8 of an hour per day for three days, so she practices 2 5/8 hours a week (7/8 * 3). Therefore, Jenna practices more gymnastics each week by 7/8 of an hour (3 1/2 - 2 5/8).
