Question

If a game of factors game takes 12 minutes for one games how many games would they play nonstop from 9:00am to 2:30pm

Answer 1

27 games

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the total time between 9:00 am and 2:30 pm minutes:

• Since we're dealing with minutes, we want to find the total time between 9:00 am and 2:30 pm in minutes.

• We know that the time in hours and minutes is 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Now we can convert 5 hours to minutes using a conversion factor that allows us to cancel out hours and add it to 30:

`(5 hours)/(x min )=(60 min)/(1 hour)\\ (5*60)min\\ 300min`

Since 300 + 30 = 330, there are 330 minutes between 9:00 am and 2:30 pm.

Step 2: Divide 330 by 12 to determine how many games can be played nonstop between 9:00 am and 2:30 pm:

Dividing 330 by 12 will show us how many games can be played nonstop from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm:

Number of games = 330/12

Number of games = 27.5

• Because they can't play half of a game, we must round down to 27, so 27 games can be played nonstop from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm.

Optional Step 3: Check that the amount of time spent playing does not exceed the total time (330 minutes)

We can check that 27 does not exceed 330 minutes by multiplying 27 and 12:

330 > 27 * 12

330 > 324

Thus, our answer is correct.
