Several friends are taking turns flying a kite. Each friend flies the kite for the same amount of time. They spend 6 hours flying the kite altogether. Explain what information you need to find how long each friend flew the kite for.

You need the number of friends.

First you need to how many friends there are then you need to divide the 6 hours with how many friends you have.

To determine how long each friend flew the kite for, you need two key pieces of information:

1. The total number of friends taking turns flying the kite.
2. The total amount of time spent flying the kite by all friends combined.

With these two pieces of information, we can divide the total time by the total number of friends to find the duration each friend spent flying the kite.

In this case, since you mentioned that the friends spent 6 hours flying the kite altogether, we have the total amount of time, which is 6 hours.

However, we don't have the number of friends mentioned explicitly. If you provide that information, we can proceed with calculating how long each friend flew the kite for.
