Question

Liam is a tyre fitter.

It takes him 56 minutes to fit 4 tyres into a van.
How long would it take him to fit 12 tyres into 3 vans?

Answer 1

168 minutes or 2 hours 48 minutes

Explanation:

Since 12 tyres is 3 times 4 tyres, it will take 3 times as long as 56 minutes.

3 * 56 minutes = 168 minutes

We can convert the answer to hours and minutes.

60 minutes = 1 hour

120 minutes = 2 hours

168 minutes - 120 minutes = 48 minutes

168 minutes = 2 hours 48 minutes

Answer: 168 minutes or 2 hours 48 minutes
