Answer: 5 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
It will take the orchestra 12 minutes to play one piece, and since there are 60 minutes in one hour, we have the following equation:
60/12= 5 pieces in one hour.
Hi there!
If an orchestra needs 2 minutes to set up for a piece, and each piece is at least 10 minutes long, then how many people can be played in one hour.
The first step is to add 2 + 10 because that's how long it's used to get ready and play one piece.
10 + 2 = 12 minutes per piece.
The second step is to convert one hour into minutes, because we are working with minutes. One hour in minutes is 60 minutes.
Now we need to divide 60 on 12, and you will get the result of how many pieces can be played in one hour.
60 ÷ 12 = 5
5 pieces can be played in one hour.
Hope this helped!~
