A computer room has 12 computers. The room is open for 4 hours each day. 25 students sigh up for computer time. Each student gets the same number of minutes. What is the graetest whole number of minutes each student can get?

Answer 1

155 minutes

Explanation:

1. Find the total available "computer time": 4 hours * 12 computers= 48 hours

2. Split this among all of the students: 48 hours/25 students= 1.92 hours

3. Convert to minutes: 1.92 hr/student * 60 minutes ≈ 155 minutes/student
