Question

It should take 5.22 minutes to clean a shower. You have 5 showers that need to be cleaned. How many minutes should it take for you to clean all 5?*

Answer 1

It would take 26.1 minutes to clean all 5 showers

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 1 shower takes 5.22 minutes to clean

To know how much would it take to clean 5 showers, we would simply use cross multiplication as follows:

1 shower ..................> 5.22 minutes

5 showers ..............> ??

Time taken =
`(5*5.22)/(1)` = 26.1 minutes

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

If one shower takes 5.22 minutes to clean, then 5 will take 5 times as long...
5.22 x 5 = 26.1 minutes which is 26 minutes and 6 seconds to be precise!
Hope this helps :-)
