Lauren is tutoring students at the library on Saturday. If she is at the library for a total of 6 hours and she helps each student, one at a time, for 3/4 of an hour, how many students does she tutor?

Respuesta :

6=24/4
24/3 = 8
She tutors 8 people.

Answer:

She tutors 8 students

Step-by-step explanation:

She is at the library for 6 hours. One hour has 60 minutes so she is at the library for [tex]6*60=360[/tex]  minutes.

She helps each student for [tex]3/4[/tex] of an hour, that means [tex]3/4*60=45[/tex] minutes.

So now we have to calculate how many times does 45 minutes fits in 360 minutes (how many students she can help in 6 hours). That is [tex]360/45=8[/tex] students.
