Question

Jennifer has a total of four and a half hours to spend on the beach swimming and playing volleyball. The time she spends playing volleyball will be twice the amount of time she spends swimming. How long will she do each activity?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents=time spent swimming

2x represents=-time spend playing volleyball

x+2x=4.5

Solve for the time spent swimming, x, then double that number to find the time spent playing volleyball.

3x=4.5

so, x would equal x=1.5

1.5 hours spent swimming and 4.5 hours spent playing volleyball

Hope this helps!!
