Question

Each of the 4 family members uses 175 or fewer minutes of their combined family cell phone plan. At the end of the month, the family does not have any remaining phone minutes. How many minutes will the family might share each month.

Answer 1

The family might share maximum of 700 mins each month.

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of minutes used by each member = 175

Number of members in family = 4

We need to find the number of minute family will share each month.

Solution:

Let the number of minute family will share each month be 'x'.

So we know that;

Total number of minute family will share each month should be less than or equal to Total number of minutes used by each member multiplied by Number of members in family

framing in equation form we get;

`x\leq 175*4\\\\x\leq 700 \ mins`

Hence The family might share maximum of 700 mins each month.
