Answer 1

Hello!

We are asked to find the number of lines the choir has to learn in time for a concert.

We're given that the concert is in 7 weeks, but they learn new lines each day, so we have to convert it to days. We know that there is 7 days in a week, we would multiply 7 weeks by 7 days, which is 49 days.

Now, we would take the total number of lines, which is 3016, and divide that by 49 days.

3016 lines / 49 days ≈ 61.55 lines/day

Since this is a real-world situation, we should round our answer is to nearest whole number, which would be 62 lines/day.

Therefore, Ester's choir needs to learn about 62 lines per day in time for the concert.
