Problema Solution

If there are 8 hours and there are 9 periods.How many minutes is each period?

Answer provided by our tutors

Assuming that each period has equal number of minutes, 'x', we can write:

9x = 8*60 (since 8 hr = 8*60 min)

x = 8*60/9

x = 160/3

x = 53 1/3 min

Each period has 53 1/3 minutes.
