Question

it takes buddy the elf 14 minutes to paint one toy boat and 18minutes to paint one toy train. How long will it take buddy to paint one dozen of each type of toy? express your answer in hours and minutes

Answer 1

Buddy takes 14 minutes to paint one toy boat and 18 minutes to paint one toy train. To find out how long it takes to paint a dozen of each, calculate the total time.

For a dozen boats (12 boats), it will take Buddy \(14 \text{ minutes} \times 12 = 168 \text{ minutes}\).

For a dozen trains (12 trains), it will take Buddy \(18 \text{ minutes} \times 12 = 216 \text{ minutes}\).

Add these two times together: \(168 \text{ minutes} + 216 \text{ minutes} = 384 \text{ minutes}\).

To convert this to hours and minutes, divide by 60 minutes (1 hour): \(384 \text{ minutes} \div 60 = 6 \text{ hours}\) with a remainder of \(24 \text{ minutes}\).

So, it will take Buddy \(6 \text{ hours and } 24 \text{ minutes}\) to paint one dozen of each type of toy.

Answer 2

To find out how long it will take Buddy to paint one dozen of each type of toy, we can calculate the total time required for painting the toy boats and toy trains separately, and then add the times together.

For toy boats:
It takes 14 minutes to paint one toy boat.
So, to paint one dozen (12) toy boats, it would take:
12 * 14 = 168 minutes

For toy trains:
It takes 18 minutes to paint one toy train.
So, to paint one dozen (12) toy trains, it would take:
12 * 18 = 216 minutes

Now, we add the times together:
168 minutes (for the toy boats) + 216 minutes (for the toy trains) = 384 minutes

To express this in hours and minutes:
There are 60 minutes in an hour. So, we can divide 384 by 60 to get the number of hours, and the remainder will be the number of minutes.

384 ÷ 60 = 6 with a remainder of 24

So, it will take Buddy 6 hours and 24 minutes to paint one dozen of each type of toy.
