Question

Noel read 90 minutes each day for 6 days. Tyra read 60 minutes each day for 8 days. What is the difference, in minutes, between the total amount of time Noel read and the total amount of time Tyra read

Answer 1

Multiply minutes read per day by number of days for each person:

Noel = 90 x 6 = 540 total minutes.

Tyra = 60 x 8 = 480 total minutes.

Now subtract to find the difference:

540 - 480 = 60 minutes difference
