Billy needs to read 500 minutes this week for his English class. He is going to read 6 days. If he already reads 15 minutes every day, how many additional minutes does he need each day to read at least 500 minutes?
1 Answer
Explanation:
Firstly, you need to work out how many minutes he is already reading for; in this case, you do
15 xx 6 = 90
Then to work out how many minutes more he needs to read, you do
500 - 90 = 410
Finally, to work out how many minutes per day, you just divide
205/3 = 68. bar(3)
Hopefully this helped...
