Katelyn Mosley · Answer 1

1/4hr=1applicant

? = 6applicants

1/4*6

6/4

1/1/2

60mins + 30mins=90mins

1hr=60mins

? = 90mins

90/60=3/2

1hr 30mins or 1/1/2 hrs

Octavio Hurst · Answer 2

1/4 of an hour = 25 min.

6 * 25min. = 150min

1 hour = 60 min.

150min. / 60min = 2.5 Hours

Therefore Ellen would have had to schedule 2 hours and 30min to meet all the applicants.
