Question

Every Wednesday, Wayne works out for 3/4 of an hour at the fitness center. Every Saturday, he goes to the fitness center again and exercises for 3 times as long. How much time does Wayne spend at the fitness center in all each week?

Answer:

3 hours (or 180 minutes)

Explanation:

3/4 of an hour = 45 minutes

45 minutes × 3 = 135 minutes or 2 hours and 25 minutes

2 hours and 25 minutes + 45 minutes = 3 hours (180 minutes)

3/4 of an hour = 45 minutes
45 * 3 = 135 minutes
135 + 45 = 180 minutes
He spends 180 minutes or 3 hours
