Answer:

d = 30 minutes.

day one is equal to 30 minutes

day two is equal to 35 minutes

day three is equal to 42 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to figure out how much day 2 was worth in total.

Using the model, we can see that 5 of the boxes from day three is equal to day 2.

42/6=7.

One of the boxes equals 7 minutes.

Next we find what all 5 of them equal.

7*5=35.

Day two was worth 35 minutes in total.

The next step is to figure out what d equals. In order to do that, we need to solve the equation:

d + 5 = 35.

subtract 5 from both sides.

d = 30.

Now we know that day one/D is equal to 30 minutes.

Day one: 30 minutes

Day two: 35 minutes

Day three: 42 minutes.

Hope that this is what your looking for. Have a good day and good luck!
