Question

Lynn's track team practices for 3 weeks before their first meet. The coach wants them to get in a total of 720 minutes of practice time before the first meet. If the track team meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 70 minutes, will they have enough practice time before the first meet? Explain.​

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

By the time they meet at their first meet, they would have practiced for 630 minutes total.

70*3=210

If they meet every three days each week for 70 mins each day then I would have to multiply the answer to learn how many minutes they gain each week.

210*3=630

If they have 210 mins per week and they only meet 3 times before the first meet, they will have only met for a total of 630 mins.
