Answer:

(10.5 - 0.75y) hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of days in 1 week = 7 .

Number of days in a week  Karla sings = y

Number of days Karla plays piano in a week  = Number of days in 1 week - Number of days in a week  Karla sings

Number of days Karla plays piano in a week  = 7 - y

In 1 day Karla sings for =  45 minutes

60 minutes = 1hour

45 minutes = 1/60 * 45 = 3/4 hours = 0.75 hours

In y days time for which Karla sings = y *0.75 hours= 0.75y hours

Time for which Karla plays piano in 1 day = 1.5 hours

Time  for which Karla plays piano in (7-y) day = 1.5*(7-y) hours

Total time in hours  for which karla sings and plays the piano each week

= 0.75y + 1.5*(7-y)

= 0.75 y + 10.5 - 1.5y

= 10.5 - 0.75y

Thus,  total number of hours karla sings and plays the piano each week is 10.5 - 0.75y hours
