If each hour 5 students receive a message at what time will 15,625 students receive a text messages

3125 hours

Explanaition:

Explanaition:First: Arrange the givens like this

1hr - 5students - 1 text

This is the first given

It says that after each hour 5 students receive a text.

Now the second given

x hours - 15,625 students - 1 text

Here we are saying that after x hours 15,625 students received 1 text.

So it should look something like this:

1hr - 5students - 1 text

xhr - 15,625 students - 1 text

Secondly: See how many minutes (time) would take for one student to receive a text.

so: 5students - 60 minutes (1 hr = 60min)

1student - x minutes

cross multiply you get 60:5 = 12 min

Thirdly:

convert the minutes to hours by dividing 12 by 60, you get 0.5 hours

1student - 0.5 hours

15,625students - x

cross multiply you get

(15,625*0.5) : 1 = 3125*1 = 3125 hours
