Answer:
56 hours
Explanation:
"David decided to exercise more, so he started running for an hour each day which meant he ran seven hours a week. After eight weeks, how many hours did he run?"
Lets get rid of the unimportant stuff first:
'"▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ he ran seven hours a week. After eight weeks, how many hours did he run?"
There are 8 weeks, for each week he ran for 7 hours, so we get the equation 7 x 8 from this sentence, 7 x 8 = 56 so in total he ran 56 hours.
