Josh has soccer practice on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. He has band practice on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. From Monday to Friday, how many hours does Josh spend on extracurricular activities? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Josh practices soccer 2 hours x 3 days = 6 hours. He practices band 1.5 hours x 2 days = 3 hours. From Monday to Friday, on extracurricular activities, Josh spends 6 + 3 = 9 hours. So the final answer is 9.
