When Cheryl goes Mountain climbing she rests five minutes for every 15 minutes that she climbs. If Cheryl combined time is 2 hours how many minutes does she rest

40 minutes would be the answer.

120 minutes = 2 hours.

If she rests every 15 minutes, divide 120 by 15 and get 8.
She takes 5 minute rests, so times 5 by the 8, and you get 40.

Hope this helped.
