Alex usually runs for 21 hours a week, training for a marathon. If he is unable to run for 3 days, describe how to find out how many hours of training time he loses, and write the appropriate integer to describe how it affects his time.

Alex runs 21 hours a week. Since, a week has 7 days, he runs, 21 hours in 7 days. Now, In 7 days, Alex runs 21 hours In 1 day, Alex runs 21 / 7 hours = 3 hours In 3 days, Alex runs 3 * 3 hours = 9 hours. ** ** So, If he is unable to run for 3 days, he loses 9 hours of his training time.

To calculate the hours of training time Alex loses by not running for 3 days, we must first determine how many hours he runs each day.
Since Alex usually runs for 21 hours a week and there are 7 days in a week, we can divide the total weekly running time by the number of days. 21 hours / 7 days = 3 hours per day.
Now, if Alex misses 3 days of training, he loses 3 days x 3 hours per day = 9 hours of training time.
Since he is not able to train for those hours, the appropriate integer to describe how it affects his time is -9.

Alex runs 21 hours a week, which breaks down to 3 hours a day. If he cannot run for 3 days, he will lose 9 hours of training time. Therefore, his training time is affected by losing 9 hours of running for that week.
