Hank reads the newspaper every morning, 5 days a week for 30 minutes. He reads part of a novel every evening, 5 days a week, for 1 hour. He doubles his reading time on Saturday and Sundays. How many minutes does Hank spend reading in 1 week? Give me reasons, before answering the question
He reads 30 minutes in the morning 5 days a week for a total of 30 * 5 = 150 minutes. He doubles his reading time on the weekends so 30 * 2 = 60 minutes per day. He reads 60 minutes on Saturday and Sunday in the mornings for a total of 60 + 60 = 120 minutes. He reads 1 hour in the evenings 5 days a week for a total of 1 * 5 = 5 hours. He doubles his reading time on the weekends so 1 * 2 = 2 hours per day. He reads 2 hours on Saturday and Sunday in the evenings for a total of 2 + 2 = 4 hours. He read 5 + 4 = 9 hours which, when converted to minutes is 9 * 60 = 540 minutes. He reads 150 minutes in the morning and 120 minutes in the evenings and 540 over the weekend for a total of 150 + 120 + 540 = 810 minutes in 1 week. So the final answer is 810.
