Checking your question before you post helps you get your answer fast.
To find out how long it will take to make the perfect amount of snowballs, we need to calculate the total time required to make 210 snowballs at a rate of 15 snowballs per hour.
First, let's calculate the number of snowballs you can make in one minute:
15 snowballs per hour ÷ 60 minutes per hour = 0.25 snowballs per minute.
Next, we can determine how many minutes it would take to make 210 snowballs by dividing the total number of snowballs needed by the number of snowballs made per minute:
210 snowballs ÷ 0.25 snowballs per minute = 840 minutes.
Therefore, it will take you 840 minutes to make the perfect amount of snowballs. However, you mentioned that the snowballs melt every 15 minutes. So, we also need to consider the time spent on remaking the melted snowballs.
Since the snowballs melt every 15 minutes, we need to account for the time spent remaking them. Divide the total time by 15 to find out how many rounds of melting and remaking are needed:
840 minutes ÷ 15 minutes per round = 56 rounds.
Each round takes 15 minutes, so multiply the number of rounds by 15 to find the extra time spent remaking melted snowballs:
56 rounds × 15 minutes per round = 840 extra minutes.
Finally, add the extra time spent remaking the melted snowballs to the total time spent making snowballs:
840 minutes + 840 extra minutes = 1680 minutes.
Therefore, it will take you 1680 minutes to make the perfect amount of snowballs, accounting for both the time spent making snowballs and remaking the ones that melt.
