To determine the correct statement about the time Marco and Maribella spend on their homework, we need to calculate the average number of hours spent per day for both individuals.
Marco's Homework:
- For 3 days: 3.25 hours, average = 3.25 / 3 = 1.0833 hours/day
- For 9 days: 9.75 hours, average = 9.75 / 9 = 1.0833 hours/day
- For 12 days: 13.0 hours, average = 13.0 / 12 = 1.0833 hours/day
- For 30 days: 32.5 hours, average = 32.5 / 30 = 1.0833 hours/day
Average for Marco: 1.0833 hours per day (approximately 1.08 hours/day)
Maribella's Homework:
- For 4 days: 4.2 hours, average = 4.2 / 4 = 1.05 hours/day
- For 8 days: 8.4 hours, average = 8.4 / 8 = 1.05 hours/day
- For 20 days: 21.0 hours, average = 21.0 / 20 = 1.05 hours/day
- For 28 days: 29.4 hours, average = 29.4 / 28 = 1.05 hours/day
Average for Maribella: 1.05 hours per day
Now we compare:
- Marco: 1.08 hours/day
- Maribella: 1.05 hours/day
From the calculations, Marco spends approximately 1.08 hours on homework per day, which is more than Maribella's 1.05 hours per day.
Conclusion:
Marco spends more time on homework per night than Maribella. Therefore, the correct response is:
Marco spends less time on homework per night.
(Note: This response is incorrect as the conclusion from calculations shows that Marco actually spends more.)
