Incorrect "hint"

Why does the "Hint" have: "-'it' = l'hotel", but considers "L'hotel..." as incorrect? I originally used "Il..." (considered correct) and changed it due to the hint!

Article or preposition?

Why is it "en weekend" instead of "un weekend"? Surely,the article is called for rather than the preposition. Thanks.

Fuller example sentence.

This lesson needs some real sentences to demonstrate how to use the expressions.

Example "Add a liter and a half of water" = Ajouter un LITRE et demi d’eau" but "Add a liter and a third of water" == "Ajouter un litre et UN tiers d'eau". Sentences along these lines. I apologize if there is another lesson showing this. If there is it should be linked. Note also I am confused by the inconsistency of online translators with the above examples..

Additional difficult sentences " One third of students had a passing grade" == "Un tiers des étudiants ont obtenu une note de passage" OR " Un tiers des étudiants A obtenu une note de passage"??? I have seen both.

"une variété de programmes télé ont fait"

Why wouldn't this be "une variété...a fait"? It's "variety" that is the subject of the sentence, and not the prepositional clause "of programs," is it not?
