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 xx "10 min" = "30 min"`

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

`"36 h" = "6 h" xx 6`

In `"36 h"`, there are `6` sets of `"6 h"`.

Hence we can multiply the number of minutes in breaks taken in `"6 h"` by `6` to obtain the number of minutes in breaks taken in `"36 h"`.

`"30 min" xx 6 = "180 min"`
