Question

Your school is putting on a play and printed a total of 500 programs to hand out to audience members. The audience members are filing into the theatre at a constant rate, and you notice that 20 programs are being handed out per minute.

Answer 1

Answer: 25 minutes

Explanation:

500 divided by 20 = 25

So, 500 are handed out in 25 minutes.

Answer 2

25 minutes

Explanation:

To calculate how long it will take to distribute all 500 programs at a rate of 20 programs per minute, we can use the following formula:

time = total number of programs / rate of distribution

Plugging in the values, we get:

time = 500 / 20 = 25 minutes

Therefore, it will take 25 minutes to distribute all 500 programs at a rate of 20 programs per minute.
