Mary has 2 1/5 hours before she needs to meet her friend. She needs to take care of 7 chores before then. How much time can she allocate to each chore?

21 minutes because 2 1/2 hours is 150 mins 150 divided by 7 equals 21

2 and 1/5 hours = 132 minutes (120 + 12)

therefore Mary will have 132/7 = 18.85714285714286 minutes for each chore.

Or around 18.85 minutes for each chore
