To find the amount of time Owen practices flips at FlyZone, we can set up the equation as follows:
Let t be the time Owen spends practicing flips.
Given:
Total time Owen spends at FlyZone = 1 \frac{1}{4} hours
Time Owen spends eating cake with friends = \frac{3}{4} hours
Therefore, the time Owen spends practicing flips can be represented as:
t + \frac{3}{4} = 1 \frac{1}{4}
Now, to solve for t, we need to isolate t on one side of the equation.
Subtract \frac{3}{4} from both sides:
t = 1 \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{4}
Now, we need to convert both fractions to have a common denominator, which is 4:
t = 1 \frac{4}{4} - \frac{3}{4}
t = 1 \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{4}
t = 1 \frac{1 - 3}{4}
t = 1 \frac{-2}{4}
t = 1 - \frac{1}{2}
t = \frac{1}{2}
Therefore, the amount of time Owen practices flips is \frac{1}{2} hour or 30 minutes.
So, the equation to find the amount of time t Owen practices flips is:
t + \frac{3}{4} = 1 \frac{1}{4}
