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:
-
What is the total amount of time spent reading on Monday and Tuesday?
- You can answer this by calculating \( 47 + 18 \).
-
How many more minutes did you read on Monday compared to Tuesday?
- This could be addressed by calculating \( 47 - 18 \).
-
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 \( 60 - (47 + 18) \).
-
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.
-
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.
