Question

Ms. Hendricks encourages her sixth-grade class to keep reading during breaks from school. She said that during a break lasting d days, they should each read 30d minutes in total. This year, spring break is 9 days long.

How many minutes should each student read during spring break?
Write your answer as a whole number or decimal.

Answer 1

I believe the answer should be 270.

You should replace the “d” in 30d with a nine because the “d” stands for how many days. The question said there are nine days so you would get this...

30x9=270 minutes in total
