Answer:
2.5 errands
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Lo is leaving from work today at 5:30 p.m
She has errands to run before she meets her friends for dinner at 8 p.m
If it takes lo of an hour to run each errand,
To find:
How many errands does she have time to run between work and dinner?
Solution:
First of all we have to find how many hours are there in between 5:30 pm and 8:00 pm,
From 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm = [tex]\frac{1}{2} hours[/tex] (30 minutes)
Then from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm = 2 hours
So the total number of hours = [tex]2 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4+1}{2} =\frac{5}{2} =2.5 \ hours[/tex]
As it is given that it takes Lo of an hour to run each errand, then the total number of errands is,
In one hour number of errand = 1
In 2.5 hours number of errand = [tex]1\times2.5= 2.5 \ errands[/tex]
Therefore, she have 2 complete errands and one half errands to run between work and dinner.
