Sheryl has 8 hours this weekend to work on her new video. She estimates that it will take 2 hours to lip sync the new song and 12 hours to learn the new dance steps. How much time will she have left over for her MTV interview?
Question
Answer:
To find out how much time Sheryl will have left over for her MTV interview, subtract the time she estimates for lip syncing and learning the new dance steps from the total available time:
Total available time = 8 hours
Time for lip syncing = 2 hours
Time for learning dance steps = 12 hours
Time left for the MTV interview:
8 hours−(2 hours+12 hours)=8 hours−14 hours=−6 hours
Sheryl won't have any time left over for her MTV interview, and she would need to allocate more time if she wants to fit it into her schedule.
