Answer 2

Correct question is "Clayton wants to be a musician. After school one afternoon, he spends half his time practicing his drums and 3/4 of the remaining time on homework and dinner. He spends the remaining 34 hour talking with and texting his friends. How long did he practice the drums "

Answer:

He practiced 136 hours the drums.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let after afternoon Clayton had time x hours.

It is given that he spends half his time practicing his drums.

So,he spends his time practicing his drums =

$x \times \frac{1}{2} \\ = \frac{x}{2} \: hours$

So, remaining time

$= (x - \frac{x}{2} ) \\ = \frac{x}{2} \: hours$

Again,3/4 of the remaining time on homework and dinner.

So,the time on homework and dinner

$= \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{x}{2} \\ = \frac{3x}{8} \: hours$

Remaining time

$= \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3x}{8} \\ = \frac{4x - 3x}{8} \\ = \frac{x}{8} \: hours$

It is also given he spends the remaining 34 hour talking with and texting his friends.

According to question,

$\frac{x}{8} = 34 \\ x = 34 \times 8 \\ x = 272$

So total time = 272 hours

Therefore, he spend total time on drums

$= \frac{272}{2} = 136 \: hours$
