Question

Emily is encouraged to read more than 4

hours each week. It takes her 45 minutes to
finish her first book. She divides the
remainder of the time equally amongst the
other six days. What is the minimum number
of minutes she should read each day?

Answer 1

24 minutes I believe

Explanation:

because 4 hours times the 6 days you would get 24 minutes

Answer 2

Answer: 32.5 minutes a day

Explanation:

First, we will see how much reading she still has to do. We will subtract what she has read from the total reading time.

4 hours = 240 minutes, 240 minutes - 45 minutes = 195 minutes

Next, we will divide this number by the number of days left.

195 minutes / 6 days = 32.5 minutes a day
