Person  practices less per day.

1 answer

To compare the daily practice times of Person 1 and Person 2, we need to find the daily practice time for Person 2.

  1. Person 1:

    • Practices for 25 minutes every day.
  2. Person 2:

    • Practices a total of 140 minutes per week.
    • To find the daily practice time, divide the total weekly practice time by the number of days in a week (7 days): \[ \text{Daily practice for Person 2} = \frac{140 \text{ minutes}}{7 \text{ days}} = 20 \text{ minutes per day} \]

Now we can compare the daily practice times:

  • Person 1 practices 25 minutes per day.
  • Person 2 practices 20 minutes per day.

Conclusion: Person 2 practices less per day.
