Answer 1

• 168 in 7 hours.

Explanation:

We can't multiply.

We got to count up by 12's for each 1/2 hour.

12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168.

Simplified:

• 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168.

Estimate:

• 12 = 1/2 hour
• 24 = 1 hour
• 36 = 1 1/2 hours
• 48 = 2 hours
• 60 = 2 1/2 hours
• 72 = 3 hours
• 84 = 3 1/2 hours
• 96 = 4 hours
• 108 = 4 1/2 hours
• 120 = 5 hours.
• 132 = 5 1/2 hours
• 144 = 6 hours
• 156 = 6 1/2 hours
• 168 = 7 hours.

Answer is 168.
