Answer 1

Marco is limited to 7 hours of screen time each week. He decides to watch a movie that is one hour and twenty minutes on Sunday. How much screen time will he have left after watching that movie?

7 - 1 20/60 hours = 5 40/60 hours, or 5 hours 40 minutes.

Answer 2

The full question is

Marco is limited to 7 hours of screen time each week. He decides to watch a movie that is one hour and twenty minutes on Sunday.

If he divides the remainder of the time equally amongst the other six days, how minutes can he watch each day? Write and solve an inequality.

The remainder of the time would be

`7-1(1)/(3)=7-(4)/(3)=(21-4)/(3)=(17)/(3) \approx 5.67hr`

This means that Marco has 5.67 hours left approximately. Now, we divide this reminder by the remaining six days

`((17)/(3) )/(6)=(17)/(18) \approx 0.94`

This means that Marco is limited to 0.94 hours (less than one hour) of screen time per day.

WE could express the result in minutes

`(17)/(18)hr(60min)/(1hr)=56.67 min`

Basically Marco has approximately 57 minutes per day of screen time.
