Answer: 825 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: We know there is a total of 15 people in the book club. We also know that 10 people each read an average of 65 minutes each day, and the remaining 5 people read for an average of 35 minutes each day.

To find the total amount f minutes read, simply multiply the amount of people by the minutes read.

10 x 65 = 650 total minutes read if 10 people each read 65 minutes for one day.

5 x 35 = 175 total minutes read if 5 people each read for 35 minutes in one day.

Now, simply add the total minutes read to find the reading time fr the entire book club each day.

650 + 175 = 825 average reading time for the entire book club each day.
