Final answer:

The total number of minutes a game show airs in a month with 4 weeks, given its 30-minute runtime five days a week, is 600 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many minutes of a game show will air in a month with 4 weeks, given that the show airs for 30 minutes each day, five days a week.

To calculate the total number of minutes, you would multiply the number of days the show airs per week by the number of minutes each show runs, and then multiply that product by the number of weeks in the month.

The calculation is as follows:The game show airs for 30 minutes each day and it airs five days per week, so in one week, the show airs for a total of 30 minutes x 5 days = 150 minutes.

In a month with 4 weeks, the show will air for 150 minutes x 4 weeks = 600 minutes.

Therefore, the correct answer is 600 minutes (C).

  • 30 minutes/day × 5 days/week = 150 minutes/week
  • 150 minutes/week × 4 weeks/month = 600 minutes/month

Therefore, the correct answer is C) 600 minutes, representing the total number of minutes the game show will air in a month with 4 weeks.
