Question

Mr White can travel for 6 hours while taking 3 breaks of 10 minutes each. Once, he had to travel for 36 hours. How many minutes in breaks did he take?

Answer 1

180 min

Explanation:

3 × 10 min = 30 min

In 6 hours, Mr. White takes a total of  30 min  in breaks.

36 h = 6 h × 6  

In  36 hours , there are  6  sets of  6 h .

Hence we can multiply the number of minutes in breaks taken in  

6 h ours by  6  to obtain the number of minutes in breaks taken in  36 h ours.  

30 min × 6 = 180 min
