Question

Gina spent 120 minutes helping her neighbors rake leaves and 240 minutes pulling weeds in the last 4 days. she helped the same amount of minutes each day. how many minutes did she work each day

Answer 1

90 minutes per day (30 minutes raking leaves and 60 pulling weeds)

Explanation:

How many minutes Gina spent in 4 days:

120 minutes = raking leaves

240 minutes = pulling weeds

First, we know that's the total amount of minutes in 4 days. That means that all we have to do is add up the total amount of minutes and divide by 4.

WORK:

120 minutes + 240 minutes = 360 minutes (total of minutes in 4 days)

360 minutes / 4 days = 90 minutes per day.

Second, if you specifically want to know the amount of minutes for each activity, just take 120 and 240 (separately) and divide the two numbers by 4.

WORK:

120 minutes / 4 days = 30 minutes per day (raking leaves)

240 minutes / 4 days = 60 minutes per day (pulling weeds)

Answer 2

90 minutes

Explanation:

FIrst, you want to add the numbers together. 120+240=360. Then, divide by the number of days. 360 divided by 4 = 90. Your answer is 90. Remember to label! (90 minutes)
