Leilani practiced piano for 3/5 of an hour. Sarah practiced piano for 7/8 of an hour.
How much longer did Sarah practice than Leilani? Simplify

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani is [tex]\dfrac{11}{40}[/tex]  hours  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The time for which Leilani practiced piano = [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex] hours

The time for which Sarah practiced piano = [tex]\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex] hours

Let the number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani = T hours

Now, According to question

The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani = [tex]\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex] hours -  [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex] hours

Or, T =  [tex]\dfrac{35-24}{40}[/tex] hours

Or, T =  [tex]\dfrac{11}{40}[/tex] hours

So,The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani = T =  [tex]\dfrac{11}{40}[/tex]  hours

Hence, The number of hours did Sarah practice more than Leilani is [tex]\dfrac{11}{40}[/tex]  hours  . Answer
