The energy saved by recycling one glass bottle is enough to power a washing machine for 10 minuets. How many recycled glass bottles will it take to power a washing machine for one hour?

It asks how if recycling one glass bottle can power a washer for 10 mins how many glass bottles will you need for an hour...

There's 60 mins in an hour.

We need to use division to get the answer.


\boxed{60\;Divided\;by\;10\;=6}

Therefore, your final answer is 6.

Divide 60 minutes by 10 minutes.

You get 6. That means you would need 6 recycled bottles to power a washing machine for one hour (that will be awesome if that were the case).

Have an awesome day! :)
