Question

Summer exercises for 0.5 hour on Monday Wednesday and Friday each week. How many hours will she exercise in four weeks

Answer 1

Answer:

She will exercise for 6 hours in four weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Summer exercises for 0.5 hour on Monday, 0.5 hour on Wednesday, and 0.5 hour on Friday. There are 3 days where she exercises for 0.5 hour.

3 days X 0.5h = 1.5h each week

For four weeks, multiply the hours each week by 4.

1.5h X 4 weeks = 6h

Therefore Summer will exercise for 6 hours over the course of 4 weeks.

Answer 2

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Summer exercises for 0.5 (Or a half) hour every day, three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). We need to found out how many hours she exercises in 4 weeks.

To solve this we first find out how many hours she exercises in one week. To do so, we set up an equation like this:

(Time exercising) x (# of days exercising) = (Hours spent exercising in one week)

Plug in the given numbers:

0.5 x 3 = 1.5 hours

If we know she exercises 1.5 (Or one and a half) hours in 1 week, we multiply this number by 4 to find out how many hours she exercises in 4 weeks. This can be shown in an equation like this:

1.5 x 4 = 6

So Summer will exercise for 6 hours in 4 weeks.
