Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question you will simply make a ratio type equation. You know that every 1/6 of an hour, or every 10 minutes, the bucket will fill 1/2 an inch. The bucket is 12 inches tall.

\frac{10 min}{1/2 inch} = \frac{x min}{12 inches}

Cross multiply

120=\frac{1}{2} x

x=240 min

Convert minutes to inches

\frac{240 min}{1}  * \frac{1 hr}{60 min} = 4 hr

Final answer: 4 hours

Hope this helps!

I guess maybe 5/35 because there are only 5 chances that you could get one of the 5 in the 35 people
