Math Problem of the Week - Lower Elementary - Oct. 31, 2021 to Nov. 6, 2021

Lower Elementary: 

Question: Freddy's grandfather reads him a story that is 49 pages long. If it takes Freddy's Grandfather 2 minutes to read each page, then how long will it take to read the story?

Answer: 1 hour 38 minutes

Solution: Since each page takes 2 minutes to read, we can find the total amount of time the story by taking the number of pages and doubling it: 49 + 49 = 98. So, the story will take 98 minutes to read. Since an hour is 60 minutes, the story will take 1 hour and 98 - 60 = 38 minutes.
