Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a table listing the number of minutes Trayvon practiced the Backstroke and Butterfly on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
We want to find event that Trayvon spent more time practicing.
To do so, we add up all the minutes of one event and compare this to the total minutes of the other event.
Therefore, we can eliminate options C and D. These two options evaluate the time on Wednesday compared to other days, but we want to do is to find which event did Trayvon spend the longest on.
So, let's add up all the minutes spent doing the Backstroke. Trayvon over the course of the three days spent 12.5 mins, 15.67 mins, and 9.32 mins.
Therefore, the total minutes Trayvon spend practicing the Backstroke is:
Now, let's add up all the minutes spent doing the Butterfly. Trayvon spent 14.333 mins, 12.1 mins, and 10.78 mins over the course of three days. So, the total time spent doing the Butterfly is:
Trayvon spent a total of 37.49 minutes doing the Backstroke and 37.213 minutes doing the Butterfly.
37.49 is greater than 37.213. So, Trayvon spent more time practicing the Backstroke.
So, our correct answer is A.
There are some number and calculation errors in B.
And we're done!
