Question

Spencer worked out for 232 1/2 minutes in the last five days. If he worked out for the same number of minutes each day, how many minutes did he work out each day?
Each day, Spencer worked out for
minutes.

Answer 1

To find out how many minutes Spencer worked out each day, you need to divide the total minutes by the number of days.

Spencer worked out for a total of 232 1/2 minutes over 5 days. First, convert 232 1/2 minutes to an improper fraction or a decimal.

232 1/2 minutes can be converted to decimal as: 232 + 0.5 = 232.5 minutes.

Now divide 232.5 minutes by 5:

232.5 ÷ 5 = 46.5 minutes.

Thus, each day, Spencer worked out for 46.5 minutes.
