contestants in a dance Marathon run for the same amount of time every hour couple dress for 27 minutes in 6 hours how long does the couple rest in 8 hours

The couple rests 36 minutes in 8 hours

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the total amount of time couple rests in an hour

The total amount of time the couple rests in an hour can be expressed as;

T=t*h

where;

T=total amount of time the couple rests in 6 hours

t=amount of time couple rests per hour

h=number of marathon hours

In our case;

T=27 minutes

t=unknown

h=6 hours

replacing;

27=t*6

t=27/6=4.5 minutes per hour

Step 2: Determine the total number of hours the couple rests in 8 hours

The total amount of time the couple rests in 8 hours can be expressed as;

T=t*h

where;

T=unknown

t=4.5 minutes per hour

h=8 hours

replacing;

T=4.5*8=36 minutes

The couple rests 36 minutes in 8 hours
