Terrence signed up for the Safe Venture driving school. He will spend 10 hours driving with an instructor and will also attend weekly 2-hour classes. When Terrence completes the 26 total hours of instruction, he will take his driver's test.
Which equation can you use to find w, the number of weeks the driving classes last?
How many weeks do the driving classes last?
weeks
To find w, the number of weeks the driving classes last, we can use the equation:
w = (26 - 10) / 2
Since Terrence spends 10 hours driving with an instructor, we subtract that from the total 26 hours of instruction. We then divide the remaining hours (16) by the 2-hour classes taken weekly.
So, the number of weeks the driving classes last is:
w = 16 / 2 = 8 weeks
