Answer:

James and Alisa practiced for 288 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

James practiced piano for 48 minutes. Alisa practiced for 5 times as long as James.

Let Alisa practiced for x minutes.

So, equation becomes:

[tex]x=5\times48=240[/tex] minutes

Hence, Alisa practiced for 240 minutes.

Let the time played together be represented as y. So, we can denote y as:

[tex]y=48+x[/tex]

[tex]y=48+240[/tex]

y = 288 minutes

Therefore, James and Alisa practiced for 288 minutes.
