Question

How long would it take to make 100 shots when making 18 shots per minute at a steady rate

Answer 1

Answer:

5 minutes and 33 1/3 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of shots made in 1 minute = 18

Let x be the no of minute to 100 shot

No. of shots made in 1*x minute = 18*x = 18x

Given total no of shots to be made = 100. Thus

18x = 100

x = 100/18 = 5 10/18

Thus, it will take 5 full minutes and 10/ 18 minutes to make 100 shots

we know that 1 minute is equal to 60 second

1 minute = 60 second

multiplying LHS and RHS by 10/18

1 * 10/18 minute = 60 *10 /18 seconds

10/18 minute = 100/3 seconds = 33 1/3 seconds

Thus, it will second 5 minutes and 33 1/3 seconds to make 100 shots.
