Diane reads the same number of minutes each week. How many minutes does she read after 4 week? After 5 week? Skip count on the n
1 answer:
Answer:
After 4 weeks she reads 4x minutes
After 5 weeks she reads 5x minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
If Diane reads the same number of minutes each week then she reads x minutes each week. We then add up the minutes she reads every week since minutes read every week is constant
Therefore in week 1 she reads x minutes
In week 2 she reads x+x=2x minutes
In week 3 she reads x+x+x= 3x minutes
In week 4 she reads x+x+x+x =4x minutes
In week 5 she reads x+x+x+x+x =5x minutes
Assume x = 20 minutes
Therefore given that Diane reads 20 minutes each week, we skip the number line by 20 counts(minutes) each time
Hence for first week x, we count 20 minutes. For second week 2x, we counts 2*20= 40 minutes. For third week, we count 3*20 =60 minutes. For fourth week, we count 4*20= 80 minutes. For fifth week, we count 5*20= 100 minutes
Find attachment to see number line. The numbers with dots above indicate minutes read by Diane for each week till the 5th week, 100 minutes.
