Question

Riley was determined to be on the basketball team. He started practicing for 40 minutes on the first day, and then increased his practice time by 20 minutes on each subsequent day. With that pattern, how many total minutes will he have practiced in 25 days?

Answer 1

1,500 minutes in 25 days.

Answer 2

Answer:

With Riley's pattern, he will practice 2,000 total minutes in 25 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Riley increased his practice time by 20, 20 times 40 is 80 minutes. And since he is repeating this in total of 25 days, 80 times 25 is 2,000.
