Contestants in a dance-a-thon rest for the same amount of time every hour. A couple rests for 25 minutes in 5 hours. How long did they rest in 8 hours?
25/5=5
8/5= 1 3/8 hours
if you divied 25 by 5 you get 5 then you multiply 8 by 5 then you get 40
so the answer is : 40 minutes
the unit rate is 25/5 minutes rest/hour
= 5 minutes rest /hour
so
8 hours * 5 minutes rest/hour
= 40 minutes rest
someone tell me how they got the answer

8 hours ( 25 minutes rest / 5 hours )
= 40 minutes rest
