Question

Bridget plans to attend 4 cardio classes and 5 weightlifting classes, which will last 328 minutes. Next week, she hopes to attend 4 cardio Classes and 1 weightlifting class, which will last 168 minutes. How long is each class?

Answer 1

Time per cardio class: 32 minutes

Time per weightlifting class: 40 minutes

Explanation:

Start by creating a system of equations:

let c = the time per cardio class

let w = the time per weightlifting class

4c + 5w = 328

4c + w = 168

Solving for c and w get you 32 minutes and 40 minutes respectively
