a) Total Time = 60 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 40 minutes
b) Total Time = 60 + 35 + 40 + 35 + 40 minutes
c) Total Time = 60 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 40 hours
d) Total Time = 60 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 40 seconds

Answer 1

To find the total amount of time Jack spent skateboarding that week, we add up the times for each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount of time Jack spent skateboarding that week, we need to add up the times for each day. On Saturday, he skateboarded for 60 minutes. On Monday and Tuesday, he skateboarded for 35 minutes each.

And on Wednesday and Sunday, he skateboarded for 40 minutes each. So the expression that shows the total amount of time is:

Total Time = 60 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 40 minutes.

Now, we can evaluate the expression:

Total Time = 60 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 40 = 210 minutes.
