Question

Anita can exercise for 20 minutes on her lunch break and 30 minutes after work on her 5 work days. She exercises 35 minutes on the weekend. How many hours per week does Anita exercise?

Answer 1

Determine the exercise hours for Anita during her one working days.

`20+30=50`

So Anita exercise 50 minutes per day for 5 days and 35 minutes on weekend.

Determine the number of minutes per week Anita does exercise.

`\begin{gathered} H=50*5+35 \\ =250+35 \\ =285 \end{gathered}`

Determine the number of hours in 285 minutes.

`285\cdot(1)/(60)=4.75`

Thus number of hours Anita exercise in a week is 4.75 or 4 hours 45 minutes.
