Question

John is about to take a 75-item multiple-choice test. If he finishes an average

of 5 items every 3 minutes, how long will it take him to complete the test?
1. 15 minutes
2. 25 minutes
3. 45 minutes
4. 60 minutes

Answer 1

It will take John 45 minutes (option 3 or C) to finish the test.

Explanation:

We know that John is about to take a 75-item quiz. If he finishes 5 items every 3 minutes, then we can divide 75 by 5.

75 ÷ 5 = 15

Now, let's multiply 15 minutes by 3 minutes to get the total amount of minutes.

15 x 3 = 45 minutes

Therefore, it will take John C. 45 minutes to finish the test.
