Question

Lauren is tutoring students at the library on Saturday. If she is at the library for a total of 6 hours and she helps each student, one at a time, for 3/4 of an hour, how many students does she tutor?

Answer 1

6=24/4
24/3 = 8
She tutors 8 people.

Answer 2

She tutors 8 students

Explanation:

She is at the library for 6 hours. One hour has 60 minutes so she is at the library for
`6*60=360` minutes.

She helps each student for
`3/4` of an hour, that means
`3/4*60=45` minutes.

So now we have to calculate how many times does 45 minutes fits in 360 minutes (how many students she can help in 6 hours). That is
`360/45=8` students.
