Question

A castle has to be guarded 24 hours a day. Five knights are ordered to split each day's guard duty equally. how long will each knight spend on guard duty in one day???? Please help I am very stuck on this

Answer 1

Explanation:

If there are five knights and they need to divide the guard duty equally for the 24 hours in a day, each knight would spend 24/5 = 4.8 hours on guard duty in one day.

However, since it's not possible to guard for a fraction of an hour, they would need to round that number to the nearest whole number. In this case, each knight would spend 5 hours per day on guard duty.
