Question

At the gym, Tika spends twice as much time doing aerobics than weight training. She stretches for one fifth of the time she spends on weight training. Let w be the amount of time Tika spends on weight training. Which expression represents her total workout?

Answer 1

Her total workout is
`2w+w+(w)/(5)`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let w be the amount of time Tika spends on weight training.

Tika spends twice as much time doing aerobics than weight training.

It means she spends
`2w` time doing aerobics.

She stretches for one-fifth of the time she spends on weight training.

It means she spends
`(w)/(5)` time for stretches.

The total workout time is:

`2w+w+(w)/(5)`

Hence, her total workout is
`2w+w+(w)/(5)`.
