Answer:

10 Classroom

Explanation:

Since,

Custodian clean 2 classrooms in 15 minutes

Then ,

Let's see how many minutes does it takes for a custodian to clean for 1 classroom

To Find that we have to divide the given minutes by the given classroom.

15/2 = 7.5

Hence, in 7.5 minutes a custodian clean 1 classroom

Therefore:

Classroom to minutes:

1 = 7.5

2 = 15

3 = 22.5

4 = 30

5 = 37.5

6 = 45

7 = 52.5

8 = 60

9 = 67.5

10 = 75

11 = 82.5

Hence, we round to the nearest number:

which is 10 classroom in 75 minutes.

For this reason, the answer is about 10 classroom
