Question

Alice, Cara, Julian, and Beth all went for a 2-hour walk with Alice's new puppy, Bandit. Each person held Bandit's leash for an equal amount of time. How long did each person hold Bandit's leash?

Answer 1

Each person held the dog's leash for 30 minutes

Explanation:

Let n be a positive intenger that represents the amount of people that held the dawg's leash.

Let t represent the time of the trip in hours

convert t to minutes

t = 2 hours = 2 * 60 minutes = 120 minutes

n = 4

`(t)/(n)` =
`(120 minutes)/(4 person)`= 30
`(minutes)/(person)`
