Question

Tours of the art museum are offered every 1/3 hour starting at 10A.M. The museum closes at 4:00 P.M. How many tours are offered eavch day?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each day, $18$ tours are offered.

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given that, the museum starts at,

10:00 AM and closes at 4:00 PM.

The total duration is $4:00PM-10:00AM=16:00GMT-10:00GMT=6hours$

Since the tour of the museum are offered every $\frac{1}{3}$ hour each day, we can calculate the number of tours that will be offered within the 6 hours as follows

$Number\:of\:tours=\frac{6}{\frac{1}{3} }$

We rewrite to obtain,

$Number\:of\:tours=6\div \frac{1}{3}$

We multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction to get,

$Number\:of\:tours=6\div \frac{3}{1}=18$

Therefore 18 tours will be offered each day in the art museum.
