Q. Audrey can use her laptop in energy-saving battery mode for seven hours. In regular battery mode, her laptop can be used for five hours. Audrey used her laptop for three hours in energy-saving battery mode. How many more hours can she use it in regular battery mode?(A) 2 and 1/7 hours(B) 2 and 4/5 hours(C) 2 and 6/7 hours(D) 4 and 1/5 hours
Calculate remaining hours: Determine the remaining hours Audrey can use her laptop in energy-saving mode.Reasoning: Audrey has used her laptop for 3 hours in energy-saving mode, which lasts for 7 hours.Calculation: 7 hours (total energy-saving mode) - 3 hours (used) = 4 hours remaining in energy-saving mode.Math error check:
Convert to regular mode: Convert the remaining energy-saving mode hours to regular mode hours.Reasoning: Since the laptop lasts 7 hours in energy-saving mode and 5 hours in regular mode, we need to find out how many regular mode hours are equivalent to the remaining 4 energy-saving mode hours.Calculation: (4 hours/7 hours)×5 hours=720 hours=2 and 76 hours.Math error check:
Total hours in regular mode: Determine the total hours Audrey can use her laptop in regular mode.Reasoning: Audrey has not used her laptop in regular mode yet, so she has the full 5 hours available.Calculation: 5 hours (total regular mode) + 2 and 76 hours (converted from energy-saving mode) = 5+2+76=7+76 hours.Math error check:
