Question

People in the United States spend an average of 6 hours and 4 minutes each week reading newspapers. a. That's how many minutes per week? b. At that rate, how much time does an average person spend reading newspapers in a 3-day period?
Then there's a chart to fill out. How many minutes per day? There's a chart for numbers 1-7. To figure out a. I have 60 minutes times 6 plus 4 to get 364. I don't know how to do part b or fill in the chart. Can someone please explain it to me? Thanks!

Answer 1

Since people read newspapers for a average of 364 minutes for a week, which is 7 days, you must divide 364 by 7. After you figure out how much they read per day multiply that by three to get your final result.
