Question

Assessment items Eleni works out 15 fewer minutes on Tuesday than on Monday. She worked out 70 minutes on Tuesday. Use the five-step problem-solving plan. How many minutes did she work out on Monday?

Answer 1

85 minutes.

Explanation:

T = Tuesday

M = Monday

T = M - 15, 70 = M - 15, M = 85 minutes.

Since she worked out 15 minutes less than monday on tuesday, you add 15 to 70, since thats what she did on tuesday.
