"Mitchell has 45 free minutes after his homework is done before football practice. He spends 9 minutesplaying a video game. What is the maximum amount of minutes Mitchell can spend watching TV before heneeds to go to practice?"

Answer 1

We have that Mitchell has 45 free minutes after his homework is done.

He spends 9 minutes playing a video game (we assume that he did his homework). Then, he only has:

`t=45-9=36`

He only has a maximum of 36 minutes to spend watching TV before he needs to go to football practice.
