A. Write and solve an equation to find how many hours Margo practices her flute in 1 week.

Certainly! To determine how many hours Margo practices her flute in one week, we'll follow these steps: ### **Step A: Write the Equation** 1. **Define the Variable:** - Let \( h \) represent the number of hours Margo practices her flute each day. 2. **Determine the Total Hours in a Week:** - There are 7 days in a week. - If Margo practices \( h \) hours each day, then the total hours \( T \) she practices in a week can be expressed as: \[ T = h \times 7 \] ### **Step B: Solve the Equation** To solve for \( T \), you simply multiply the number of hours she practices each day by 7. **Example:** Suppose Margo practices **2 hours** each day. \[ T = 2 \times 7 = 14 \text{ hours} \] So, Margo practices her flute **14 hours** in one week. ### **General Solution** If you know the number of hours \( h \) Margo practices each day, you can find the total weekly practice time using the equation: \[ T = 7h \] **Where:** - \( T \) = Total hours practiced in a week - \( h \) = Hours practiced each day **Another Example:** If Margo practices **1.5 hours** each day: \[ T = 7 \times 1.5 = 10.5 \text{ hours} \] Margo practices her flute **10.5 hours** in one week. --- **Summary:** To find the total hours Margo practices in a week, multiply the number of hours she practices each day by 7. \[ \boxed{T = 7h} \] Where \( T \) is the total weekly practice time and \( h \) is the daily practice time.
