Question

Jack reads his book for 8 minutes before school and 10 minutes after school. He attends school Monday through Friday. Which equation shows how many minutes Jack reads his book in two weeks?

Answer 1

Answer:

90 min or 1hr 30 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though the options to choose from are not given in this question we can try and lay our hand on the most likely equation for the number of minutes Jack reads his book.

firstly on a daily Jack reads a total of = 8+10 = 18 mins

He attends school from Mon- fri = 5 days

Now on a weekly basis jack reads = 5*18

in other words, the equation is simply the number of days times the time spent to read his book per day

hence this is  = 90 min or 1hr 30 mins
