Question

IF tim gets 2 dollars every 5 minutes how many will he have in 8 hours?

If Bob gets 3 dollars every 5 minutes how many would he have in 8 hours?

Answer 1

Tim would have 192 dollars and Bob would have 288 dollars

Explanation:

Hey there!

In order to find out how much money Tim and Bob get after 8 hours; we need to know how much money there will get every MINUTE

To do this, we divide the money by the time

Tim- 2/5 --> $0.40

Bob- 3/5 --> $0.60

Now that we know how much money they get every minute, lets multiply it by 60 to see how much money they make every HOUR

Tim- $0.40 x 60 --> $24

Bob- $0.60 x 60 --> $36

This is how much money they get every hour

Now, the question is asking for how much money they would have in 8 hours

This means we need to multiply the money they get every hour by 8

Tim- 24 x 8 --> $192

Bob- 36 x 8 --> $288

This means, that in 8 hours, Tim would have 192 dollars and Bob would have 288 dollars
