Question

Each dimensional analysis problem has taken you 5 minutes to complete. How many dimensional analysis problems could you complete in 8 weeks of chemistry class (375 minutes a week)?

a) 60 problems
b) 45 problems
c) 50 problems
d) 55 problems

Answer 1

To find the number of dimensional analysis problems that can be completed in 8 weeks of chemistry class, divide the total minutes available by the time taken to complete each problem. The correct answer is a) 60 problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of dimensional analysis problems that can be completed in 8 weeks, we need to calculate the total minutes available.

There are 375 minutes per week, so in 8 weeks, there will be 375 x 8 = 3000 minutes. Since each problem takes 5 minutes to complete, divide the total minutes by 5: 3000 / 5 = 600 problems.

Therefore, the correct answer is a) 60 problems.
