Tommy wished he practiced more before his violin concert. If he had practiced 1 1/2 more hours one week, he would have averaged 8 hours per week for the four week prior to his concert. How many hours did he practice in the 4 weeks?

30.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If he were to average 8 hours PER week for 4 weeks, his total sum would have been:

8 * 4 = 32 hours

But he fell short of it. By how much?

By hours!

So, he practiced 1  1/2 hours LESS THAN 32 hours, so his practice time is:

So, he practiced 30.5 hours in the 4 weeks

b. 24 mm

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 7^2 = 25^2

a^2 + 49 = 625

a^2 = 576

a = 24

answer: b. 24 mm
