Final answer:

Drake read for more minutes than Just (1185 minutes) but less than Shari (1200 minutes). Every option provided as an answer (1186, 1190, 1195, 1198 minutes) meets these conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is asking how many minutes Drake read if he read more than just, who read for 1185 minutes, and less than Shari, who read for 1200 minutes. From the multiple-choice options provided, we must choose a number that is greater than 1185 but less than 1200.

  • 1186 minutes - This is more than 1185 and less than 1200, so it is a possible amount of time Drake could have read.
  • 1190 minutes - This is also more than 1185 and less than 1200, making it another possible amount of time Drake could have read.
  • 1195 minutes - Again, this fits the criteria since it is more than 1185 and less than 1200.
  • 1198 minutes - This is also a potential amount, as it is still between Just's and Shari's reading times.

Each option provided is a valid answer since they all fall between the two known values. However, without additional information, we cannot conclusively determine which specific amount of time Drake read for.
