Answer:

He spent 35 minutes swimming each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

10x5=50

The multiply by 5 is the numbers of days.

225-50=175

(The 50 minutes subtracted is the time Devon walked)

175 divided by 5 = 35

He spent 35 minutes swimming

Confirm/Check    

35 times 5 =175

( Again, The multiply by 5 is the 5 days.)

175+50= 225

Therefore, He swam 35 minutes each day and walked 10 minutes each day.

He swam 175 minutes in total and walked 50 minutes in total

How do we make equations from word problems?

The word problems must be thoroughly read and understood. Then we can use the given data to make the equations.

We can find the number of minutes Devon spent swimming as follows:

He exercised for a total of 225 minutes in the last week.

It is also given that he exercised the amount each day for 5 days.

Therefore, the total number of minutes of exercise per day = 225/5

= 45 minutes.

It is given that he spends 10 minutes everyday walking.

Therefore the total number of time Devon spend swimming = 45 - 10

= 35 minutes

Therefore, we have found that the number of minutes Devon swam each day is 35 minutes.
