Alissa is starting at a new school. She knows that school is from 8 am to 2:30 pm. Lunch is thirty minutes long. If she has six classes, how long is each class?

Question

i need help with this i do not now how to do it

Answer 1

First, let's state the given information from the problem:

1. School is from 8am - 2:30 pm (a total of 6.5 hours)
2. Lunch is 30 minutes long
3. There are 6 classes

A class day from 8am to 2:30pm is 6.5 hours. If lunch is 0.5 hours (30 minutes), then we can subtract 0.5 from 6.5. Now we are left with 6 hours. Because we have 6 classes we can divide 6 hours by 6 classes. This gives us that each class is 1 hour long.

Answer: Each class is 1 hour long
