Question

In winter, a school opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 3.30 p.m. If the lunch interval is of 30 minutes, find the ratio of lunch interval to total lime of the class periods.

Answer 1

Timing of a school (10 a.m. to 3.30 p.m) = 5 hours 30 minutes
Timing for lunch interval = 30 minutes
Total time of the class periods = 5 hours 30 minutes – 30 minutes
= 5 hours = 60 × 5 = 300 minutes
Ratio of lunch interval to total time of the class period = 30 minutes : 300 minutes = 1 : 10
