Firstly, you need to work out how many minutes he is already reading for; in this case, you do 15 multiplied by 6 which is
15 × 6 = 90
Then to work out how many minutes more he needs to read, you do
500 - 90 = 410
Finally, to work out how many minutes per day, you just divide 410 by the 6 days he's going to read for. So you get the answer of
205 3 = 68 . 3 ¯
