Question

Ellie practices piano 2/3 h per day, several days each week. She practiced piano 32/23 hours during the summer.

What equation can be used to find the number of days that she practiced piano during the summer?

Let d represent the number of days.

Drag and drop the appropriate number into each box.

Answer 1

Let us assume that the number of days she practiced the piano to be "d"

Since she practiced 2/3 hours a day, the total number of hours would be: 2/3*d

Now we are given the total number of hours during summer that she practiced  be be equal to 32/23

So we equate 2/3 * d to 32/23 to find d

2/3*d = 32/23

d = (32/23)/ (2/3)

d = (32/23) * (3/2)

d = 48/23 hours

The equation that can be used to find the number of days that she practiced piano during the summer is 2/3*d = 32/23
