Members of the band are required to practice twenty-five minutes every night. About how many hours does a band member practice weekly?
7 * 25 = 175
175 / 60 = 2.9 hours
Thank you Ms. Sue! :D
To calculate the number of hours a band member practices weekly, we need to determine the total number of minutes they practice and then convert it into hours.
Given that a band member practices for twenty-five minutes every night, we can multiply this by the number of nights in a week (7) to get the total number of minutes practiced in a week:
25 minutes/night * 7 nights/week = 175 minutes/week.
Now, we need to convert these minutes into hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour. So, to find the number of hours, we divide the total minutes by 60:
175 minutes / 60 minutes/hour ≈ 2.92 hours.
Therefore, a band member practices for about 2.92 hours per week.
