Gail practices swimming for 1 1/4 hours every day. How much time does she practice in a week?

Answer 1

She spends 1 1/4 (or 1.25) hours every day swimming. There are 7 days in a week.

7 * 1.25 = 8.75

She spends 8.75 hours a week swimming. But we don't usually talk about .75 of an hour. .75 of an hour is 45 minutes.

She swims 8 hours and 45 minutes a week.

Answer 2

1 1/4 hrs = 75minutes.

75m/day × 7 = 525 minutes/60 minutes = 8.75 hours per week.

Answer 3

7 * (5/4) = 35/4 = 8 3/4 hr weekly.

Answer 4

Hi Sumayyah,

Since there's 7 days in a week, we multiply the time she spends each day practicing (1 1/14, or 1.25 hours) by 7.

1.25 x 7 = 8.75 hrs each week

Answer 5

If you convert the 1 1/4 hours of practice to a decimal, you get 1.25 (if you divide 1/4, you get 0.25; then you can add it to the 1 hours so that it is 1 1/4 = 1.25).

One week has 7 days so 1.25 x 7 = 8.75 hours per week.

Gail practices 8.75 hours per week. This can be converted to a fractional answer by separating the 8 and the 0.75 and finding a fraction for the .75. 3/4 is equal to .75. If you combine them (the 8 and the .75), you then get 8 3/4 hours per week.
