Question

Danny reads for one half hour every day.

At the end of four weeks, how many hours has Danny read?

Answer 1

14 hours

Explanation:

half hour = 30 minutes

1 week = 7 days

30(minutes) x 7(days) = 210 minutes

210(minutes) x 4(weeks) = 840 minutes

Now we know how much time Danny has read (840 minutes), but we need to know what that is in hours.

840 minutes = how long Danny has read in minutes

60 minutes = hour

840(minutes) ÷ 60(minutes) = 14(hours)

Answer 2

There are 7 days in a week.

1/2 hour x 7 days = 3 1/2 hours per week.

3 1/2 hours per week x 4 weeks = 14 hours

He read for a total of 14 hours
