Question

Lola gets two 20-minute breaks at work each day. She works 5 days a week. How much time does she spend on break each week?

Group of answer choices

Answer 1

200 minutes or 3 hrs and 20 mins

Answer 2

200 minutes / 3 hours & 20 minutes.

Explanation:

This is quite simple.

First, since we know that Lola takes two 20 minute breaks at work each day, let's multiply 20 and 2.

20 × 2 = 40

This means she is on break for a total of 40 minutes each day.

Finally, let's take that 40 and multiply it by 5.

40 × 5 = 200

This means she spend 200 minutes (3 hours & 20 mins) on break each week.
