Question

Ty has 3 hours to finish a slide presentation for a project. It takes him 1/4 hours to create each slide. Will Ty have enough time to create 10 slides? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, Ty will complete 10 slides in 150 minutes, that is 2.5 hours, since he takes 15 minutes (I.e. 1/4 hours) to create one slide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to create one slide = 1/4 hours = 60/4 mins = 15 mins

Time taken to create 10 slides = 15 × 10 mins = 150 mins = 150/60 hours = 2.5 hours which is less than the given time of 3 hours.

Alternatively, time taken to complete 10 slides = 10 × 1/4 hours = 10/4 hours = 2.5 hours
