Explanation:

Step1: Identify highest - point

Find the highest point on the line - graph. The y - value (minutes playing games) is highest on Day 4.

Step2: Identify lowest - point

Find the lowest point on the line - graph. The y - value is lowest on Day 2.

Step3: Compare Day 2 and Day 3 values

The value on Day 2 is 20 minutes and on Day 3 is 60 minutes. So, it increases.

Step4: Read Day 6 value

Read the y - value corresponding to Day 6 on the graph. It is 60 minutes.

Step5: Read Day 5 value

Read the y - value corresponding to Day 5 on the graph. It is 70 minutes.

Step6: Compare Day 4 and Day 6 values

Day 4 is 100 minutes and Day 6 is 60 minutes. So, more time on Day 4.

Step7: Calculate difference

The time on Day 6 is 60 minutes and on Day 5 is 70 minutes. The difference is \(70 - 60=10\) minutes.

Step8: Calculate total time

Add up the minutes for each day: \(80 + 20+60 + 100+70 + 60=390\) minutes.

Step9: Check Day 4

The time on Day 4 is 100 minutes. So, he got to 100 minutes.
