Question

Tours of the art museum are offered every 1/3 hour starting at 10 A.M. The museum closes at 4:00 P.M. How many tours are offered each day?

Answer 1

To find out the number of tours offered each day at the museum, we calculate the total hours the museum is open and multiply by the number of tours per hour. Since there are 3 tours every hour and the museum is open for 6 hours, the museum offers 18 tours each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many tours are offered each day at the art museum, we need to calculate the number of tours between the opening time at 10 A.M. and the closing time at 4 P.M. Tours are offered every 1/3 hour, meaning there are 3 tours per hour. The museum is open for 6 hours (from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.), so we multiply the number of hours by the number of tours per hour.

1. Calculate the total hours the museum is open: 4 P.M. - 10 A.M. = 6 hours.
2. Calculate the number of tours per hour: 3 tours per 1 hour.
3. Multiply the total hours by the number of tours per hour: 6 hours × 3 tours/hour = 18 tours.

Therefore, the museum offers 18 tours each day it is open.

Answer 2

3 Each hour × (difference in 10 am and 4 pm= 5) = 15.
