Q. Kenny will be away at a basketball camp, and a outdoors camp during the summer. The total time he will be away is 8 weeks.If his basketball camp is 21 days long, how many days long is the outdoors camp?(A) 35(B) 42(C) 56(D) 5
Convert to days: First, we need to convert the total time Kenny will be away from weeks to days to match the units of the basketball camp duration.8 weeks ×7 days/week = 56 days.
Subtract basketball camp duration: Next, we subtract the duration of the basketball camp from the total time to find the duration of the outdoors camp. 56 days (total time away) - 21 days (basketball camp) = 35 days.
