People can't swim because they will be eaten by sharks How many people would survive and reach the island?

Answer 1

Answer:

11 people in 20 minutes

Explanation:

if 5 people would take 9 minutes to head back and forth, so 10 people would take another 9 minutes to head back and forth

so totally there would be 10 people heading to the island, so there would be extra 2 minutes so 1 more person can head to the island. the other 1 minute, there would not be time left to head back and return. so totally 19 people can reach the island in 19 minutes

hope this helps you!!!!!
