Delia brushes her teeth 1/6 hour each day. Write and solve an equation to find how many hours Delia brushes her teeth in a week. Then use property of operations to find how many minutes Delia brusher her teeth in 1 week
To find how many hours Delia brushes her teeth in a week, we can set up the equation:
Number of hours Delia brushes her teeth in a week = (Number of hours Dentist brushes her teeth in a day) * (Number of days in a week)
Since Delia brushes her teeth for 1/6 hour each day, the equation becomes:
Number of hours Delia brushes her teeth in a week = (1/6 hour/day) * 7 days/week
= 7/6 hours/week
To find how many minutes Delia brushes her teeth in 1 week, we can use the property of operations that 1 hour = 60 minutes:
Number of minutes Delia brushes her teeth in 1 week = (Number of hours Delia brushes her teeth in 1 week) * (Number of minutes in 1 hour)
= (7/6 hours/week) * (60 minutes/hour)
= 70 minutes/week
