Each day, a lion in South Africa spends 1/6 of the day watching gnus and 1/4 hours chasing gnus. Then the lion takes 4 times as much time consuming the gnus as chasing the gnus.
What is the number of minutes that a lion spends a day watching, chasing and consuming gnus?
4 * 1/4 = 1, so 1 hour eating
total = 4+ 1/4 +1 = 5 1/4 hours.
Change that to minutes.
I guess this lion would not agree that
no gnus is good news...
To find the total time the lion spends watching, chasing, and consuming gnus, we need to convert the given fractions into a common unit of time, such as minutes.
First, let's determine how many minutes are in a day. There are 24 hours in a day, and 60 minutes in an hour. So, there are 24 * 60 = 1440 minutes in a day.
According to the given information, the lion spends 1/6 of the day watching gnus. To find the number of minutes spent watching, we calculate (1/6) * 1440 = 240 minutes.
The lion spends 1/4 hours chasing gnus. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 1/4 hours is equal to (1/4) * 60 = 15 minutes.
The lion takes four times as much time consuming the gnus as chasing them. Thus, the time spent consuming gnus is 4 * 15 = 60 minutes.
Now, to find the total time the lion spends watching, chasing, and consuming gnus, we add up these three times: 240 + 15 + 60 = 315 minutes.
Therefore, the lion spends a total of 315 minutes each day watching, chasing, and consuming gnus.
