To calculate the total number of hours Jenna trains without her Wednesday practice, we need to add up the hours for the other days:
Sunday: 1 1/2 hours
Monday: 1 hour
Tuesday: 2 1/2 hours
Thursday: 2 hours
Friday: 1 1/2 hours
Saturday: 2 hours
Adding these up, we get:
1 1/2 + 1 + 2 1/2 + 2 + 1 1/2 + 2
This equals:
(1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2) + (1/2 + 1/2 + 2/2 + 1/2)
Now calculate the whole numbers and fractions separately:
Whole numbers: 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 8
Fractions: 1/2 + 1/2 + 2/2 + 1/2 = 2/2 + 2/2 = 1 + 1 = 2
Now add whole numbers and fractions:
8 + 2 = 10 hours
So, the total number of hours that Jenna trains, excluding Wednesday's practice, is 10 hours.
The correct answer is B) 10 hours.
Sunday: 1 1/2
Monday: 1
Tuesday: 2 1/2
Wednesday: 1 3/4
Thursday: 2
Friday: 1 1/2
Saturday: 2
Jenna is a swimmer and trains every day. The schedule shown outlines the number of hours she trains each day. If she misses the Wednesday practice, what is the total number of hours that she trains?
