Answer: 1 hour 15 minutes

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Laura and Alicia both exercise 5 days a week and that Laura exercises for 30 minutes each day. For the 5 days, she'll exercise for:

= 5 × 30 minutes

= 150 minutes

= 2 hours 30 minutes

Alicia exercises for 45 minutes each day. Fir the 5 days, she'll exercise for:

= 5 × 45 minutes

= 225 minutes

= 3 hours 45 minutes

We then calculate the difference in their exercise per week which will be:

= 3 hours 45 minutes - 2 hours 30 minutes

= 1 hour 15 minutes
