Question

If you can do your homework at a rate of 5.5 minutes for every problem,how many problems could be done after 4.81 hours? Round to a wholenumber.

Answer 1

we have to change 4.81 hours to minutes, so we get that

`4.81\text{ hours=}4.81\cdot60=288.6\text{ minutes}`

And now we have to divide 288.6 minutes by 5.5

`(288.6)/(5.5)=52.47\approx52`

So 52 problems could be solved in 4.81 hours
