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.
