Question

Tours of the art museum are offered every 1/3 hour starting at 10A.M. The museum closes at 4:00 P.M. How many tours are offered eavch day?

Answer 1

Answer: Therefore, the art museum offers 18 tours each day.

Step-by-step explanation: The art museum offers tours every 1/3 hour starting at 10 A.M. and closes at 4:00 P.M. To determine how many tours are offered each day, we need to find the total number of 1/3 hour intervals between 10 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.

First, we need to convert the closing time to the same format as the starting time. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can write 4:00 P.M. as 16:00.

Next, we calculate the number of hours between the starting and closing times by subtracting 10 from 16, which gives us 6 hours.

Since there are 3 intervals in each hour, we multiply the number of hours by 3 to find the total number of 1/3-hour intervals. In this case, 6 hours multiplied by 3 equals 18 intervals.

Therefore, the art museum offers 18 tours each day.

Answer 2

Each day,
`18` tours are offered.

Explanation:

We were given that, the museum starts at,

10:00 AM and closes at 4:00 PM.

The total duration is
`4:00PM-10:00AM=16:00GMT-10:00GMT=6hours`

Since the tour of the museum are offered every
`(1)/(3)` hour each day, we can calculate the number of tours that will be offered within the 6 hours as follows

`Number\:of\:tours=(6)/((1)/(3) )`

We rewrite to obtain,

`Number\:of\:tours=6/ (1)/(3)`

We multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction to get,

`Number\:of\:tours=6/ (3)/(1)=18`

Therefore 18 tours will be offered each day in the art museum.
