Answer 1

1.5 minutes

To calculate how many minutes Agustin held his breath in total for the week, we multiply the number of times he held his breath by the duration of each time in minutes:

5 times * 90 seconds = 450 seconds

Now, to convert seconds to minutes, we divide by 60:

450 seconds / 60 seconds per minute = 7.5 minutes

Therefore, Agustin held his breath for a total of 7.5 minutes this week.
