Nolan practices the piano for 1 2/5 hours every Saturday and Sunday. How long does he practice each weekend? Express your answer in hours and minutes.
1 2/5 + 1 2/5 = 2 4/5
(4/5) * 60 = 240/5 = 48
2 4/5 = 2 hours, 48 minutes

To find out how long Nolan practices each weekend, we need to add the practice time on Saturday and Sunday.
Nolan practices for 1 2/5 hours every Saturday and Sunday.
We can break down this time as follows:
- 1 hour
- 2/5 hour
To add these two values together, we convert the 2/5 hour into a fraction with a denominator of 5:
2/5 hour = (2 * 1) / (5 * 1) = 2/5 hour
Now, we can add the two values together:
1 hour + 2/5 hour = 1 + 2/5 = 5/5 + 2/5 = 7/5 hour
To express this time in hours and minutes, we divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (5):
7 ÷ 5 = 1 with a remainder of 2
This means that Nolan practices for 1 hour and 2/5 hour, or 1 hour and 12 minutes, each weekend.
