Don't know how to do this problem.
Drew lifts weights for 15 minutes a day and run on the treadmill for 30 minute. Use the distributive property to find the minutes the total minutes that drew exercises for 7 days
7 * 45 = ______ minutes
7*15 + 7*30 = 7*(15+30) = 7*45
To find the total minutes that Drew exercises for 7 days, we need to calculate the total minutes he lifts weights and runs on the treadmill each day and then multiply it by 7.
First, let's calculate the total minutes Drew lifts weights and runs on the treadmill each day using the distributive property:
Total minutes = (minutes he lifts weights) + (minutes he runs on the treadmill)
The given values are:
minutes he lifts weights = 15 minutes
minutes he runs on the treadmill = 30 minutes
Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
Total minutes = 15 minutes + 30 minutes
Next, let's simplify this expression:
Total minutes = 45 minutes
Now, to find the total minutes Drew exercises for 7 days, we need to multiply the total minutes by 7:
Total minutes for 7 days = 45 minutes × 7
Calculating this, we get:
Total minutes for 7 days = 315 minutes
Therefore, Drew exercises for a total of 315 minutes over the course of 7 days.
