To determine which week had the larger range in minutes read, Kate should follow these steps:

  1. Put the numbers in order from least to greatest for each week. This helps to identify the minimum and maximum reading times.

  2. Find the range for each week by using the formula: \[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum minutes} - \text{Minimum minutes} \] Calculate the range for both Week 1 and Week 2.

  3. Compare the ranges obtained from the previous step.

  4. Determine which week had the larger range and state the result.

Using this approach ensures that Kate accurately finds the range of minutes read for each week and correctly identifies which week had a larger range. Therefore, the correct response incorporates all these steps:

  1. Put the numbers in order from least to greatest.
  2. Find the range for each week.
  3. Compare the ranges.
  4. State which week had the larger range in minutes.

The correct completion for your query would likely be that Kate should conclude which week had the larger range based on her findings.
