Contestants in a dance-a-thon rest for the same amount of time every hour. A couple rests for 24 minutes in 3 hours. How long did they rest in 4 hours? pls help me find the answer to this question
uhm somebody anser????
x/4 = 24/3
To find out how long the couple rests in 4 hours, we can start by finding the amount of rest they take per hour. We know that in 3 hours, they rest for a total of 24 minutes.
To find their hourly rest time, we can divide the total rest time (24 minutes) by the number of hours (3 hours).
24 minutes / 3 hours = 8 minutes
Therefore, the couple rests for 8 minutes every hour.
To find out how long they rest in 4 hours, we multiply the hourly rest time (8 minutes) by the number of hours (4 hours).
8 minutes x 4 hours = 32 minutes
Therefore, the couple rests for 32 minutes in 4 hours.
