Question

the vegetable display automatically sprays a mist over the vegetables according to a repeating tomer you set...how many minutes should you set the timer for in order to spray the vegetables 5 times each hour.

Answer 1

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate the spray interval to spray 5 times a day
----------------------------------------------------------------------
one day = 24 hour
24 ÷ 5 = 4.8 hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the interval in minutes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.8 hours = 4h 48 mins
4.8 hours = (4 x 60) + 48
4.8 hours =288 mins

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 288 mins
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer 2

12 Minutes

Explanation:

We need to calculate spray interval (in minutes) for mist to be sprayed over vegetables 5 times an hour.

therefore, spray interval should be =
`(1)/(5)` Hours

We know that 1 hour consists of 60 minutes.

⇒1 Hour = 60 Hinutes

∴ Spray interval =
`(60)/(5)` = 12 Minutes
