Question

Ava swam for 154 minutes during her first week of vacation. In her two weeks of vacation, she swam for a total of 357 minutes. How many more minutes did she swim for in the second week than in the first week?

Sort the information from the problem. What do we know? What do we need to figure out?

Answer 1

203 more minutes

We know she swam 154 min in first week.

And in two weeks she swam 357 minutes.

We need to figure out x (total of minutes swam in week two)

So do 357=x+154

Subtract 154 from both sides

x=203

Hope this helps
