Question

5 bridesmaids want to make 325  decorations for a wedding. 

Each decoration takes about 2 1/2minutes to make. 

Which response gives the best estimate for the amount of time each bridesmaid will spend making decorations?

Answer 1

Divide 325 by 5 to get the number of decorations that each bridesmaid makes.
325 ÷ 5 = 65
Multiply 65 by 2.5 because each takes 2 1/2 minutes to make.
65 x 2.5 = 162.5
162.5 minutes is equal to 2 hours and 42 1/2 minutes.
Hope this helps!
