Everyday I practice the drums for the same length of time. By the end of the 15th week, I have practiced a total of 37 1/2 weekday hours. How many hours do I practice a day? I did 15 x 5 to get 75 days then divided by 37 1/2 hours to get how many hours per day am I doing this right?
I apprciate any help you can give me.
Thank You
This is correct.
Mon,Tues,Wed,Thurs, and Fri usually make up a weekday- 5 days, and 15 weeks of 5 days is 75 total days. 37 1/2 across 75 days is 37 1/2 divided by 75 giving you:
30 minutes, or 1/2 an hour a weekday over the 15 weeks.
Thank You Very Much Derius.
To find out how many hours you practice per day, you will need to divide the total hours practiced over 15 weeks by the number of weekdays (Monday to Friday) in those 15 weeks.
First, calculate the total number of weekdays in 15 weeks. Since there are 5 weekdays in a week, multiply 15 by 5 to get 75 weekdays.
Next, divide the total hours practiced, which is 37 1/2, by the number of weekdays (75) to find the number of practice hours per day.
37 1/2 / 75 = 1/2
Therefore, you are practicing for 1/2 hour (or 30 minutes) per day.
So, you are correct in your calculation! You practice for half an hour every weekday.
