Jenn practiced basketball for 45% of the time Kaylee practiced. Jenn practiced for 36 minutes.

How long did Kaylee practice?

0.45 * 36 = ?

16.2

80

To find out how long Kaylee practiced, we need to calculate 100% of the time she practiced, as Jenn practiced for 45% of the time Kaylee practiced.

Let's set up an equation:

Let x be the total time Kaylee practiced.
45% of x is equal to 36 minutes.

Mathematically, this can be expressed as:

0.45x = 36

To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.45:

x = 36 / 0.45

Calculating this, we find:

x ≈ 80 minutes

Therefore, Kaylee practiced for approximately 80 minutes.
