Answer

Find out the how long did they rest in 8 hours.

To prove

As given

contestants in a dance-a-thon rest for the same amount of time every hour.

A couple rests for 25 minutes in 5 hours .

As

25 mintues = 5 hours


1\ hours = (25)/(5)\ mintues

1 hours = 5 mintues

Thus in 1hours a the dance -a-thon rest for 5 mintues.

Now for 8 hours.

8 hours = 8 × 5 mintues

= 40 mintues

Therefore in 8 hours a dance-a-thon rest for 40 mintues.
