Question

It took Sharon 105 minutes to wash three cars and put everything away. If she spent 10

minutes putting everything away, how long did it take to wash each car?

Answer 1

Well that would be 105 - 10. If you spent 105 minutes in total and 10 of that was putting your stuff away, take that 10 minutes away and you’d get 95. So, she spent 95 minutes washing 3 cars in total. If you divide that 95 into 3s, you get rounded 31 minutes each.
