Question

Kevin is building a large model of a soccer ball out of foam board. A soccer ball is made of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. It takes Kevin 6 minutes to measure and cut each hexagon, and all t takes him 5 minutes to measure and cut each pentagon. How many hours will it take him to make all the pieces?

Answer 1

Answer:

Kevin will take 3 hours to make all pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kevin is building a large model of a soccer ball which is made of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons.

Time taken by Kevin to measure and cut each hexagon = 6 minutes

Therefore, time taken to make 20 hexagons = 6×20 = 120 minutes

Similarly time taken by him to measure and cut a pentagon = 5 minutes

So, time taken to make 12 pentagons = 12×5 = 60 minutes

Total time taken to measure and cut 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons = 60+120 = 180 minutes

Therefore, Kevin will take 180 minutes or 3 hours to make all pieces.
