Question

Visualize an engaging and colorful illustration that represents the concept of students spending varying amounts of time on homework. Show two separate desks, one belonging to a boy and the other to a girl, reflecting a diverse classroom environment. On the boy's desk, scatter study materials and displays indicating different periods of time spent studying, represented numerically on invisible clocks or hourglasses. On the girl's desk, do the same, adjusting the time indications to correspond with the data given. Importantly, ensure that these time-related indications are recognizably different, but do not depict exact figures or text.

Answer 1

To determine who spends less time doing their homework, we need to compare the number of hours each person spends per night.

From the tables, we can see that Marco's homework hours range from 3.25 to 32.5 hours, while Maribella's homework hours range from 4.2 to 29.4 hours.

Comparing the data, we can see that Marco spends less time on homework per night.

Therefore, the correct statement is:

Marco spends less time on homework per night.

Answer 2

Maribella spends less time on homework per night.

Answer 3

To answer the question, we need to compare the number of hours each person spends on homework per night. Let's calculate the average number of hours per night for each person.

For Marco:
- In 3 days, Marco does 3.25 hours of homework, so the average per day is 3.25 / 3 = 1.08 hours per day.
- In 9 days, Marco does 9.75 hours of homework, so the average per day is 9.75 / 9 ≈ 1.08 hours per day.
- In 12 days, Marco does 13.0 hours of homework, so the average per day is 13.0 / 12 ≈ 1.08 hours per day.
- In 30 days, Marco does 32.5 hours of homework, so the average per day is 32.5 / 30 ≈ 1.08 hours per day.

For Maribella:
- In 4 days, Maribella does 4.2 hours of homework, so the average per day is 4.2 / 4 = 1.05 hours per day.
- In 8 days, Maribella does 8.4 hours of homework, so the average per day is 8.4 / 8 = 1.05 hours per day.
- In 20 days, Maribella does 21.0 hours of homework, so the average per day is 21.0 / 20 = 1.05 hours per day.
- In 28 days, Maribella does 29.4 hours of homework, so the average per day is 29.4 / 28 ≈ 1.05 hours per day.

By comparing the averages, we can see that both Marco and Maribella spend approximately the same amount of time on homework per night, which is 1.08 hours for Marco and 1.05 hours for Maribella. Therefore, the correct statement is:

Marco and Maribella spend equal time doing their homework.
