Question: Stevie practices playing her violin for 30 minutes each weekday and 45 minutes each Saturday and Sunday. How much time does Stevie spend practicing each week?
Answer: 4 hours
Solution: Stevie practices for 30 minutes, 5 times. That’s 150 minutes or 21/2 hours over the week. On weekends, she practices for 45 minutes, twice. That’s 90 minutes or 11/2 hours. Over the course of the whole week, Stevie practices for 21/2 + 11/2 = 4 hours.
