Question

A farmer harvests wheat in the field. She drives a tractor down ten 500-meter rows for a total distance of 5,000 meters. If it takes the farmer 2 hours and 30 minutes to harvest all the wheat, about how many minutes did she spend in each row? ​

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

2 hours and 30 minutes equals 150 minutes. Divide by the 10 rows equals 15 minutes each.

Answer 2

15 minutes

Explanation:

2 and a half hours is the same as 150 minutes. There are ten rows, so if you divide 150 by 10, you get 15. The farmer spent 15 minutes in each row.
