Eric practiced piano and guitar for a total of 8 hours this week. He dedicated a specific amount of time to each instrument, with a fraction of that time devoted to playing the piano.
Calculating Piano Practice Time
Let's denote:
Piano (p)
Guitar (g)
Given the equations:
p + g = 8
p = 8 * 1/4
By substituting the value of p into the first equation, we can find the answer:
8 * 1/4 = 2
Therefore, Eric practices the piano for 2 hours.
