John and Chris play soccer on separate teams. John's team practices 6 hours every 2 days and Chris' team practices 8 hours every 4 days. Show a graph or explain the average number of hours John and Chris practice

Answer 1

To determine the average number of hours John and Chris practice, we can calculate the average number of hours per day.

John's team practices for 6 hours every 2 days.
Therefore, the average number of hours per day is:
(6 hours * 1 day) / 2 days = 3 hours/day

Chris' team practices for 8 hours every 4 days.
Therefore, the average number of hours per day is:
(8 hours * 1 day) / 4 days = 2 hours/day

We can now represent this information on a graph.

On the x-axis, we can represent the number of days.
On the y-axis, we can represent the number of hours practiced.

For John, we can plot a point (2, 6), indicating that after 2 days his team has practiced for a total of 6 hours. We can also plot the point (4, 12), indicating that after 4 days his team has practiced for a total of 12 hours. We can then draw a line connecting these points.

For Chris, we can plot a point (4, 8), indicating that after 4 days his team has practiced for a total of 8 hours. We can also plot the point (8, 16), indicating that after 8 days his team has practiced for a total of 16 hours. We can then draw a line connecting these points.

The graph will show that on average, John practices 3 hours per day, while Chris practices 2 hours per day.
