How many hours per week does Anita exercise?

4 1/2 hours per week

Answer 1

To find out how many hours per week Anita exercises, we can break it down as follows:

1. Exercise during lunch breaks on workdays:

   • Anita exercises for 20 minutes on each of her 5 work days.
   • Total time for lunch breaks = 20 minutes × 5 days = 100 minutes.

2. Exercise in the evenings after work on workdays:

   • Anita exercises for 30 minutes on each of her 5 work days.
   • Total time for after work = 30 minutes × 5 days = 150 minutes.

3. Exercise on the weekend:

   • Anita exercises for 35 minutes on the weekend.

Now, let's add up all the minutes:

• Total minutes during lunch breaks = 100 minutes
• Total minutes after work = 150 minutes
• Total minutes on the weekend = 35 minutes

Now, add these together: \[ 100 + 150 + 35 = 285 \text{ minutes} \]

Now we need to convert minutes into hours:

• There are 60 minutes in an hour, so we divide by 60: \[ 285 \text{ minutes} \div 60 = 4.75 \text{ hours} \]

Thus, Anita exercises for 4 ¾ hours per week.

The final answer is 4 ¾ hours per week.
