Question

on monday i read for 47 minutes . on tuesday i read for 18 minutes . based on the pages i read this week,what questions could be answered with the number sentence below

Answer 1

To create a number sentence based on the reading times you provided, you can represent your total reading time for both days as:

\( 47 + 18 = x \)

Where \( x \) is the total number of minutes you read over the two days.

Based on this number sentence, here are some questions that could be answered:

1. **What is the total amount of time spent reading on Monday and Tuesday?**
- You can answer this by calculating \( 47 + 18 \).

2. **How many more minutes did you read on Monday compared to Tuesday?**
- This could be addressed by calculating \( 47 - 18 \).

3. **If you wanted to read for an hour in total over both days, how many more minutes would you need to read?**
- You would first find the total (let’s say, for example, you wanted to total 60 minutes), then solve \( 60 - (47 + 18) \).

4. **What would the average reading time per day be if you continue this pattern for a week?**
- You could derive this by calculating the total reading for the week and dividing by the number of days.

5. **If you planned to read for an additional 15 minutes on Wednesday, what would your new total reading time be?**
- This would involve adding \( 15 \) to your initial total of \( 47 + 18 \).

These questions leverage the number sentence you created and provide a basis for further analysis of your reading habits.
