Question

You and a group of friends participate in a game where you must use clues to escape from a room. You have a limited amount of time to escape and are allowed 3 free clues. Additional clues may be requested, but each removes 5 minutes from your remaining time. What integer represents the total change in the time when you use 5 clues?

Answer 1

Answer:

The integer that represent the total change in time when 5 clues are used is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of free clues available = 3

The number of minutes removed for an additional clue = 5 minutes

Therefore, the total change in time when 5 clues are used is given as follows;

The number of free clues available 3

The number of clues for which 5 minutes is removed from the remaining time when 5 clues are selected = 5 - 3 = 2 clues

Therefore, the total change in time = The number additional clues × 5 minutes/clue

The total change in time = 2 clues × 5 minutes/clue = 10 minutes

The total change in time = 10 minutes

Therefore, the integer that represent the total change in time (in minutes) when 5 clues are used = 10.
