Wouldn't one add the ten day practice time and the next sixteen days time?
No, in this scenario we would actually multiply the number of hours Juanita practiced each day by the number of days she practiced, and then add the two results together to get the total time she spent practicing.
Let's break it down:
Juanita practiced the piano for 3 hours per day for 10 days. So the expression for this part would be 3 * 10.
Next, she practiced for 2 hours per day for 16 days. So the expression for this part would be 2 * 16.
To find the total time Juanita spent practicing, we need to add these two expressions together:
Total Time = (3 * 10) + (2 * 16)
Now let's calculate the total time Juanita practiced the piano:
Total Time = (3 * 10) + (2 * 16)
= 30 + 32
= 62
Therefore, Juanita practiced the piano for a total of 62 hours.
