Question

Jack reads his book for 8 minutes before school and 10 minutes after school. he attends school monday through friday. write an equation that shows how mant mintues jack reads his book in two weeks?​

Answer 1

180 min

Explanation:

The first thing is to get the number of days in two weeks that he would read the book, since he only does it when he goes to school. School goes from Monday to Friday, that is to say 5 days, how two is two weeks would be a total of 10 days. Mathematically, it would be the equation, where X would be the number of minutes inside the parentheses and the minutes read before and after school:

X = 10 * (10 + 8)

Solving:

X = 180

In other words, in two weeks he has read a total of 180 minutes.
