Explanation:
- You watch your show from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. every weekday. That’s 1 hour each day.
- Weekdays are Monday to Friday — that’s 5 days.
- So, 1 hour × 5 days = 5 hours total.
- Easy! Just count the days and multiply by how long you watch each day.

Teach the Topic:
Time problems are about figuring out how much time something takes over days or weeks.
Think of it like counting cookies: if you eat 1 cookie each day for 5 days, you ate 5 cookies total.
Same with time: if you do something for 1 hour each day for 5 days, you did it for 5 hours total.
Simple example: If you brush your teeth for 2 minutes every morning for 3 days, how many minutes total? → 2 × 3 = 6 minutes.
