Question

rian plays baseball 4 days a week for 60 minutes. Melissa plays baseball 3 days a week for 80 minutes. Which statements are true about Melissa and Brian? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

To compare Brian and Melissa's baseball playing schedules, we can calculate the total time each of them spends playing baseball each week.

**Brian's schedule:**
- Days per week: 4 days
- Minutes per session: 60 minutes
- Total time per week = 4 days * 60 minutes = 240 minutes

**Melissa's schedule:**
- Days per week: 3 days
- Minutes per session: 80 minutes
- Total time per week = 3 days * 80 minutes = 240 minutes

Now that we have the total time for both:

1. **Brian plays 240 minutes of baseball per week.**
2. **Melissa plays 240 minutes of baseball per week.**

From this comparison, we can determine the following statements that are true:

- **Brian and Melissa both spend the same amount of time playing baseball each week.**
- **Brian plays baseball more days per week than Melissa.**
- **Melissa plays baseball longer each day than Brian.**

These statements accurately reflect the situation based on the time spent and the frequency of play.
