Oliver practices the piano 448 minutes in 4 weeks. At what rate did she practice, in minutes per day?

1 answer

To find the rate at which Oliver practiced the piano in minutes per day, we need to first determine the total number of days in 4 weeks and then divide the total minutes practiced by that number of days.

  1. Calculate the number of days in 4 weeks: \[ 4 \text{ weeks} \times 7 \text{ days/week} = 28 \text{ days} \]

  2. Now, divide the total minutes practiced (448 minutes) by the total number of days (28 days): \[ \frac{448 \text{ minutes}}{28 \text{ days}} = 16 \text{ minutes/day} \]

Thus, Oliver practiced the piano at a rate of 16 minutes per day.
