An airplane boards 16 people every 3 minutes.
How long would it take to board all 150 passengers?
An airplane boards 16 people every 3 minutes
How long would it take to board all 150
passengers?
First, we need to figure out how many groups of 16 people can be boarded in order to reach 150 passengers:
150 passengers รท 16 passengers per group = 9.375 groups
Since we can't have a fraction of a group, we'll round up to 10 groups:
10 groups x 3 minutes per group = 30 minutes
Therefore, it would take 30 minutes to board all 150 passengers.
To determine the time it would take to board all 150 passengers with 16 people boarding every 3 minutes, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the number of groups of 16 passengers that can be boarded every 3 minutes:
Divide the total number of passengers by the number of passengers in each group: 150 passengers / 16 passengers = 9.375 groups.
Since we cannot have fractional groups, we round up to the nearest whole number: 10 groups.
2. Calculate the total time required to board the passengers:
Multiply the number of groups by the time interval: 10 groups * 3 minutes = 30 minutes.
Therefore, it would take approximately 30 minutes to board all 150 passengers based on the given conditions.
