Contestants in a dance-a-thon rest for the same amount of time every hour. A couple rests for 25 minutes in 5 hours. How long did they rest in 8 hours?

25/5=5
8/5= 1 3/8 hours

8 hours ( 25 minutes rest / 5 hours )

= 40 minutes rest

the unit rate is 25/5 minutes rest/hour

= 5 minutes rest /hour

so
8 hours * 5 minutes rest/hour

= 40 minutes rest

( First my way, then your way :)

Thats wrong my teacher said

I need help

40 dude

someone tell me how they got the answer

I am confushios

if you divied 25 by 5 you get 5 then you multiply 8 by 5 then you get 40
so the answer is : 40 minutes

taunat wus good it 40

I agree

so first 25 divided by 5= 5 therefor, 5 x 8 = 40 the reason we used 8 is because that was the only number left over. Hope this helped! <3
