Ms. Reynolds has a system of 10 sprinklers that water her entire lawn. The sprinklers run one at a time, and each runs for the same amount of time. The first 4 sprinklers run for a total of 50 minutes. How long does it take to water her entire lawn?

*please explain how you got the answer if possible*

you are told that sprinklers run for the same amount of time. lets refer to this time as T.
you are told that 4 sprinkles run one at a time for 50 minutes total. that means that T should be 50/4 = 12.5 minutes = 12 minutes and 30 seconds
