Problema Solution

Students get to switch classes every 20 minutes. The students are in school for 7 hours. If a student switched as much as possible, how many times would that student get to visit another classroom?

Answer provided by our tutors

first lets find how many minutes are in 7 hour:


1 hour = 60 min


7 hours = 7*60 = 420 min


the maximum number of switches will happen if the student is switching every 20 min


divide the total time by 20 (the minimum time between 2 switches):


420 : 20 = 21


the student gets to visit another classroom 21 times.
