180 min

Explanation:

3 × 10 min = 30 min

In 6 hours, Mr. White takes a total of 30 min in breaks.

36 h = 6 h × 6

In 36 hours , there are 6 sets of 6 h .

Hence we can multiply the number of minutes in breaks taken in

6 h ours by 6 to obtain the number of minutes in breaks taken in 36 h ours.

30 min × 6 = 180 min
