She has to have 200 to 300 minutes of exercise per week
To do minimumm 200 minutes she has to work 200-(40+45+ 0+ 50+ 25 + 35) = 5
To do minimumm 300 minutes she has to work 300-(40+45+ 0+ 50+ 25 + 35) =105
Sue should exercise between 5 and 105 minutes on the seventh day to stay within the ACSM guidelines.
