Let's assume that in 4 weeks Riley practices the piano for 448 minutes.
We can set up a proportion using the idea that the ratio of the total time practiced to the number of days practiced is constant.
Since there are 7 days in a week, we have 4 weeks * 7 days = 28 days in total.
So, the proportion becomes:
t/448 = d/28
This equation can be rearranged to isolate t:
t = (448 * d) / 28
Thus, the proportional equation for t in terms of d that matches the context is:
t = (16 * d) / 1
We can set up a proportion using the idea that the ratio of the total time practiced to the number of days practiced is constant.
Since there are 7 days in a week, we have 4 weeks * 7 days = 28 days in total.
So, the proportion becomes:
t/448 = d/28
This equation can be rearranged to isolate t:
t = (448 * d) / 28
Thus, the proportional equation for t in terms of d that matches the context is:
t = (16 * d) / 1
