Answer:

250 minutes

Explanation:

Let's write the proportion as a fraction.


  • (150 minutes)/(3 classes) = (x minutes)/(5 classes)

Now, let's solve the proportion.


  • 50 = (x)/(5)

  • 50 * 5 = (x)/(5) * 5

  • 250 = x

Therefore, you spend 250 minutes in 5 classes.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
