Supplied materials

  • Paper or a text document; all cases below are original fictional learning inputs.
  • An adult may read aloud; drawing or spoken answers are valid. No personal health information or physical performance is required.
  • The separate worked case gives distinctTypeDays=1. Subtract distinct supplied type days from 3. First identify the quantities and keep their units consistent. The calculation is 3-1=2 additional distinct days. Round to six decimal places where needed. That result answers this supplied planning question only. It does not establish what a real person did, diagnose a condition or prove physical skill. Compare the units with the question before accepting a number.
  • Fictional case 1: distinctTypeDays=0. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
  • Fictional case 2: distinctTypeDays=1. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
  • Fictional case 3: distinctTypeDays=2. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
  • Fictional case 4: distinctTypeDays=0. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
  • Fictional case 5: distinctTypeDays=2. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
  • Fictional case 6: distinctTypeDays=1. What is the modeled result using the stated method?

Learn the idea

Youth guidance includes muscle-strengthening and bone-strengthening on at least three days each week, along with vigorous aerobic days. A type-frequency check counts distinct dates, not minutes or the number of blocks on one date.

The supplied cases give the number of distinct days with one specified type and keep it below three. Subtract from three to calculate the modeled remaining days. This check does not replace the daily-time or other-type checks.

Use fictional calendars, not personal records. No activity is required. Actual options should match abilities and safety support. A completed paper calendar is planning evidence only and does not certify physical participation or health benefit.

  1. Mark the facts or constraints in the supplied case.
  2. Apply the method explained above; draw a sequence, table or decision map.
  3. Compare your result with the worked solution and explain the difference.
  4. Complete the new cases, then check the changed-case extension.
Worked example

See the method in action

The separate worked case gives distinctTypeDays=1. Subtract distinct supplied type days from 3. First identify the quantities and keep their units consistent. The calculation is 3-1=2 additional distinct days. Round to six decimal places where needed. That result answers this supplied planning question only. It does not establish what a real person did, diagnose a condition or prove physical skill. Compare the units with the question before accepting a number.

Helpful tips
  • Count distinct calendar days with the specified type.
  • Passing a type-days check does not establish daily duration or other types.
Fictional calendar (muscle: no marked dates). How many additional distinct dates would bring that specified type to the three-day reference?

Feedback appears here after you check. This is practice, not a graded school assessment.

See the answer and explanation

3 additional distinct days

Subtract distinct supplied type days from 3. With distinctTypeDays=0, calculate 3-0=3 additional distinct days. Results are rounded to six decimal places where needed. This is a supplied model, not a personal health assessment.

Take it further

Changed case: distinctTypeDays=2. Show the operation. Expected: 3-2=1 additional distinct days; round to six decimal places where needed, retain model limits and explain the units.

More practice: try new cases

Choose an answer for each problem. Explain your method on paper, then use the feedback to decide what to revisit.

1. Fictional calendar (bone: Monday only). How many additional distinct dates would bring that specified type to the three-day reference?
Need a hint?
  • Count distinct calendar days with the specified type.
  • Passing a type-days check does not establish daily duration or other types.
2. Fictional calendar (vigorous: Wednesday and Friday). How many additional distinct dates would bring that specified type to the three-day reference?
Need a hint?
  • Count distinct calendar days with the specified type.
  • Passing a type-days check does not establish daily duration or other types.
3. Fictional calendar (bone: no marked dates). How many additional distinct dates would bring that specified type to the three-day reference?
Need a hint?
  • Count distinct calendar days with the specified type.
