Answer:

A) 3hrs

Explanation:

Fission is the action of dividing or splitting something into two or more parts.

So, we're going to continuously multiply our answers by 2 until we get 360

10 x 2 = 20 30min

20 x 2 = 40 1hr

40 x 2 = 80 1hr 30min

80 x 2 = 160 2hrs

160 x 2 = 320 2hrs 30min

320 x 2 = 630 3hrs
