Joel has a goal to practice his clarinet for 4 ½ hours per week. The list below shows the number of hours Joel has practiced so far this week.

3/4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Joel has a goal to practice his clarinet for 4 1/2 per week. The list below shows the number of hours Joel has a practiced so far for the week. Monday 1 1/2 hours Wednesday 1 1/4 hours Thursday 1 hour. How many more hours does he need to practice this week to meet his goal?

Total practice hours per week = 4 1/2 hours = 9/2 hours

Hours of practice so far for the week:

Monday = 1 1/2 hours = 3/2 hours

Wednesday = 1 1/4 hours = 5/4 hours

Thursday = 1 hour

Total = Monday + Wednesday + Thursday

= 3/2 + 5/4 + 1

= (6+5+4)/4

= 15/4 hours

How many more hours does he need to practice this week to meet his goal

Hours needed to meet goal = Total practice hours per week - Hours of practice so far for the week

= 9/2 - 15/4

= (18-15)/4

= 3/4 hours

Hours needed to meet goal = 3/4 hours

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
