Jeff has practice 3 times this week. Each practice is 3/4 hour long. How long did Jeff practice during the week?

Question

A.1 1/2 hours
B.2 1/4 hours
C.3 3/4 hours
D.5 1/4 hours

Answer 1

To find out how long Jeff practiced during the week, you can multiply the number of practices by the duration of each practice.

Jeff practiced 3 times for \( \frac{3}{4} \) hour each time.

So, you calculate:

\[ 3 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \text{ hours} \]

Now, convert \( \frac{9}{4} \) hours into a mixed number:

\[ \frac{9}{4} = 2 \frac{1}{4} \text{ hours} \]

So, Jeff practiced for \( 2 \frac{1}{4} \) hours during the week.

The correct answer is B. 2 1/4 hours.
