Need help with this question:


5 friends were playing Wii games on a Friday afternoon from 3pm to 6pm. As there were only 4 consoles, they took turns to play. At any time, 3 of them played while the other 2 friends watched. If each of them had the same amount of playing time, how many minutes did each child play that afternoon?
Thanks:D

Ans: 4

3/5 (9/15) -> $50
2/3 of 2/5 (4/15) -> $10 & $5
(2/15) -> $2

4u = 1/7 ($10 notes)

$10 = 4 notes.

1. Mr Heng paid $45 for 7 goldfish and 6 guppies. Each goldfish cost 12 times as much as a guppy. How much more did he pay for a goldfish than a guppy?

2. Mr Lim paid $220 for 5 singlets and 5 jackets. Each jacket cost 10 times as much as a singlet. Find the price of 2 singlets and 3 jackets.

2. Mr Lim paid $220 for 5 singlets and 5 jackets. Each jacket cost 10 times as much as a singlet. Find the price of 2 singlets and 3 jackets.

Thank you!

1)
Cost of 1 goldfish = cost of 12 guppies.
Cost of 7 goldfish = cost of 12*7=84 guppies.
Cost of 7 goldfish and 6 guppies = cost of 90 guppies.
Hence cost of 1 guppy = $0.50.
2)Cost of 1 jacket = cost of 10 singlets.
cost of 5 jackets & 5 singlets = cost of 55 singlets.

This looks so very similar to 1 psle maths question 2 yrs ago.
Hmm this is weird, only 3 people played when there are 4 consoles.
Assuming only 3 played at any instant, it translates to 3*3 = 9 hours of total playing time, shared among the 5 friends equally, which translates to 108minutes playing time per friend.
