Respuesta :

Answer:

205 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If Monica has already practiced 18% of her time, we know that she has practiced [tex]\frac{18}{100}[/tex]. If this 18% corresponds to 45 min, we can have the following equation: [tex]\frac{18}{100} = \frac{45}{x}[/tex]. We can rearrange the equation to find the value of x by doing [tex]x = \frac{45 \cdot 100}{18} = 250[/tex], so she practices 250 min every Wednesday. If we subtract the time she has already practiced (45 min) we find out she still has to practice more 205 min.
