Shawn warms up for 0.5 hours before playing tennis. Each set he plays lasts 1.5
hours, so x sets will take 1.5x hours. If he has a total of 8 hours available to warm up
and play, how many sets can he play?
He can play
sets.
The solution is?

Respuesta :

Answer: 5 sets

Explanation:

Since it takes Shawn 0.5 hours to finish a warmup, he will have 8.0-0.5 hours to play. Since he has 7.5 hours to play sets, and it takes 1.5 hours to finish 1 set, we divide 7.5 by 1.5. We receive 5 as an answer.

In conclusion, Shawn can play 5 sets
