Reggie is a long distance runner. His daily 2-1/2 hour practice is divided evenly into three areas: warm-ups, running, and cool down. How many minutes total does Reggie spend warming up and cooling down each day at practice?

2 1/2 hours = 150 minutes

(150/3) * 2 = ?

To find the number of minutes Reggie spends warming up and cooling down each day at practice, we need to figure out the duration of each area and then sum them up.

Reggie's daily practice lasts for 2-1/2 hours. To convert this to minutes, we multiply 2.5 by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour).

2.5 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 150 minutes

Now, since the practice is divided evenly into three areas (warm-ups, running, and cool down), each area takes up 1/3 of the total time. To find the duration of each area, we divide the total time by 3.

150 minutes / 3 = 50 minutes

Therefore, Reggie spends 50 minutes warming up and 50 minutes cooling down each day at practice.
