Juan has a piano recital next month.last week he practiced for 8 hours in the morning and 7 hours in the afternoon. Each practice session is 2 hours long. How many full practice sessions did Juan complete?

Respuesta :

In the morning, Juan has completed 8 hours of training. Each practice session, is 2 hours. Let x be the number of practice sessions Juan has completed in the morning. Let's use the rule of three:

1 practice session --> 2 hours
x practice session --> 8 hours

x = (8*1) / 2 = 8/2 = 4
So Juan has completed 4 practice sessions in the morning.

Let's do the same thing for the afternoon, where he has practiced 7 hours. Let y be the number of practice sessions.

1 practice session --> 2 hours 
y practice session --> 7 hours

y = (7*1)/2 = 7/2 = 3.5
Juan has completed 3.5 practical sessions on the afternoon.

Let's add both morning and afternoon to find the total number of practical sessions:
x + y = 4 + 3.5 = 7.5
So Juan has completed 7.5 practical sessions, or 7 full practical sessions and a half.

We can conclude that Juan has completed 7 full practice sessions.

Hope this Helps! :)
Hi Babakhan! 

We just need to divide 7 and 8 by 2, then add the answers.
8 / 2 = 4. So Juan did four practice sessions in the morning.
7 / 2 is going to be a decimal, so let's take away 1.
6 / 2 = 3.
3 + 4 = 7
So, Juan did 7 sessions and 1 hour of practice.

I hope I helped!
