It is.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because 600 is for the whole group, and the question asks about 1 person
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
Because there are 600 minutes shared between 4 people
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 people
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
So, you divide the 600 by 4 to get the individual

Amber AND three other people. 1+3=4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How do you know Amber isn't part of the 3 person group? Hehe.
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
And they all have equal minutes
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
Because it says with the other three members of her family.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Where does it say that?

THEN you divide 150 by 30 days for amber, which gives you 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
c:
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
That is per day
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
It's asking per 30 days which 30 days=1 month
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How many minutes >per day< can Amber talk on her cell phone with her friends during a 30-day month, without going over her share of the minutes?
