The table shows:
- Day 1: 40 minutes
- Day 2: 65 minutes

Question 1: Which day did they spend the most time playing basketball?
Look at all the times:
40, 65, 75, 25, 50, 30 → The biggest number is
75, which happened on
Day 3.
✔ Answer: Day 3

Question 2: From day 4 to day 5, did the amount of time increase or decrease?
Day 4 = 25 minutes
Day 5 = 50 minutes
50 is more than 25 → So it
increased.
✔ Answer: Increase

Question 3: How many more minutes did they spend on day 1 and day 2 than they spend on day 5 and day 6?
First, add Day 1 + Day 2:
40 + 65 =
105 minutes
Then, add Day 5 + Day 6:
50 + 30 =
80 minutes
Now subtract:
105 - 80 =
25 minutes
