Mia wanted to show how she spent her time. She made a pie graph of her typical 24 hour day. Use the pie graph to answer the question.
baseball practice : 1/12
How many hours does Mia spend at baseball practice?
$500 * .4 = ?
24 * 1/12 = ?
To answer the first question about how much money Jorge and his family spent on a hotel, we need to use the information given in the pie graph.
The pie graph indicates that the hotel portion of the $500.00 is represented by 2/5. To find out how much money this represents, we can use the following steps:
1. Determine the fraction of money represented by each part of the pie graph. In this case, the hotel portion is represented by 2/5.
2. Calculate the total amount spent on the trip by multiplying the $500 by the fraction representing the hotel portion: 500 * 2/5 = $200.
Therefore, Jorge and his family spent $200 on a hotel.
For the second question about how many hours Mia spends at baseball practice, we can follow a similar process using the information given in the pie graph.
The pie graph indicates that the baseball practice portion of Mia's day is represented by 1/12. To find the number of hours she spends at baseball practice, we can use the following steps:
1. Determine the fraction of time represented by each part of the pie graph. In this case, the baseball practice portion is represented by 1/12.
2. Calculate the total number of hours in Mia's day by multiplying 24 (representing a 24-hour day) by the fraction representing the baseball practice portion: 24 * 1/12 = 2.
Therefore, Mia spends 2 hours at baseball practice.
