Helen Kim · Answer 1

The minutes remaining till the end of the month = 500 - 310 = 190 minutes

now to split these minutes equally, we will divide them by 7 days of week

daily usage = 190/7 = 27.14 minutes

since we can not talk for 0.14 minutes, therefore, to equally split the remaining minutes, you should speak 27 minutes per day with one extra minutes remaining to be used on the day you choose
