Answer 2

An airplane boards 16 people every 3 minutes
How long would it take to board all 150
passengers?

Answer 3

First, we need to figure out how many groups of 16 people can be boarded in order to reach 150 passengers:

150 passengers ÷ 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.
