Question

Jess exercise 40 minutes every day this week except for 55 minutes on Tuesday and Friday. What is her total exercise time this week?

Answer 1

310 minutes (or 5 hours 10 minutes)

Explanation:

Let's just write everything out:

Sun : 40

Mon : 40

Tues : 55

Weds : 40

Thurs : 40

Fri : 55

Sat : 40

So 5 days x 40 minutes = 200 minutes

And then 2 days x 55 minutes = 110 minutes

200 minutes + 110 minutes = 310 minutes

310 minutes = 310/ (60 min/hr) 5 hours 10 minutes

Answer 2

Jess's total exercise time for the week is 170 minutes.

Explanation:

To calculate Jess's total exercise time for the week, we need to sum up the duration of exercise on each day.Exercise time on Monday: 40 minutes

Exercise time on Tuesday: 40 minutes - 55 minutes (skipped) = -15 minutes (skipped)

Exercise time on Wednesday: 40 minutes

Exercise time on Thursday: 40 minutes

Exercise time on Friday: 40 minutes - 55 minutes (skipped) = -15 minutes (skipped)

Exercise time on Saturday: 40 minutes

Exercise time on Sunday: 40 minutesTo calculate the total exercise time, we add up the exercise times for each day:40 + (-15) + 40 + 40 + (-15) + 40 + 40 = 170 minutes
