sara has 4 hours each evening to spend either doing homework or listening to music if she consistently does homework for 1/2 hours each school night for one week what is the ratio of the amount of time doing homework to listening to music

Answer 1

Over the course of one week, Sara spends 4 hours each evening doing either homework or listening to music. If she consistently does homework for 1/2 hour each school night, that means she spends 4 - 1/2 = 3.5 hours listening to music.

The ratio of time spent doing homework to listening to music is 1/2 : 3.5, which simplifies to 1 : 7.

Therefore, the ratio of the amount of time doing homework to listening to music is 1:7.
