Carly, Brittany, and Lauren streamed one-fourth of an eight-episode documentary. If 70 minutes of the documentary have been watched, how many minutes are in the documentary?(1 point)

Question

n=

Answer 1

Let \( n \) be the total number of minutes in the documentary. Since they watched one-fourth of the eight-episode documentary and 70 minutes correspond to that one-fourth, we can set up the equation:

\[ \frac{1}{4}n = 70 \]

To find \( n \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

\[ n = 70 \times 4 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ n = 280 \]

Thus, the total number of minutes in the documentary is \( \boxed{280} \).
