Question

Joe wrote a play. It takes the actors 5 minutes to act out

2 pages of the script. If Joe's script is 106 pages long,
how long is the play?

Answer 1

Answer: 265 minutes.

Explanation:

It takes actors 5 minutes to act out 2 pages.

To act out 1 page it will take 2.5 minutes. 106 pages: 106 times by 2.5=265 mins.

Hopefully it is right because the question was not too clear.

Answer 2

The play would be 265 minutes. Or 4 hours 25 minutes.

Explanation:

2 pages/5 minutes = 106 pages/ x minutes

2/5 = 106/x

5/2 = x/106

530/2 = x

265 = x
