A coach’s swimming team practices 5 times per week. There are 4 age groups on the team, and each group practices at a different time. Each group practices a total of 60 minutes per practice. What is the total amount of time the coach spends at practice during the week?

Well from what I'm reading it could turn out to be


4 * 60 * 5 / 60

4 being the groups and 60 being the minutes they practiced. 5 being the days the coach had to stay and 60 dividing the sum because there is 60 minutes in an hour. So 4×60×5=1200 and 1200÷60=20. So the coach spent 20 hours at practice during the week.
