Question

It took Abhilasha 20 minutes to apply a coat of paint to a piece of pottery. After each coat she waited for 1 hour 30 minutes for the paints to dry. Which is a reasonable amount of time it could have taken for Abhilasha to apply 5 coats of paint and for the pottery to be completely dry?

Answer 1

• See we will solve it first by taking one step at a time for first paint it will take 20 min and for drying it will take 1hr 30 min so in total=1hr 50 min now there are 5 paints coating to do with drying so multiply it by 5 and 1hr 50min=110 min and by multiplying we get 550min or 9hr 10 min
