Question

It takes 5 minutes for an individual to shower. If each person showers twice per day, approximately how long does each person spend showering in a year?

Answer 1

Answer: 3,650 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will find the number of minutes an individual showers per day, using the values given. We will use multiplication.

5 minutes per show * 2 showers per day = 10 minutes per day

Next, we will assume this is a non-leap year and will use a 365-day year. We will multiply 365 days in a year by 10 minutes per day.

365 days in a year * 10 minutes showering per day = 3,650 minutes showering per year
