Answer 1

To find out how many hours the figure skater will practice in 9 weeks, we can use the following calculations:

1. The skater practices for 9 hours each day.
2. There are 7 days in a week.

First, we calculate the number of hours practiced in one week:
\[
9 \, \text{hours/day} \times 7 \, \text{days/week} = 63 \, \text{hours/week}
\]

Next, we calculate the total practice time over 9 weeks:
\[
63 \, \text{hours/week} \times 9 \, \text{weeks} = 567 \, \text{hours}
\]

Therefore, the skater will practice a total of **567 hours** in 9 weeks.
