I figure skater practices for nine hours each day in preparation for the Olympics. How many hours will the skater practice in nine weeks

To find the total number of hours the figure skater will practice in nine weeks, we need to multiply the number of hours practiced each day (9 hours) by the number of days in a week (7 days) and then multiply by the number of weeks.

Total hours = 9 hours/day * 7 days/week * 9 weeks
Total hours = 567 hours

Therefore, the figure skater will practice for 567 hours in nine weeks.
