Question

How much time should you allow for framing 6 walls?

Answer 1

In this problem, we want to figure how long it will take for a crew to frame 6 walls.

We are given the following information

• it takes 45 minutes to frame one wall

,

• there are 6 walls to frame

First, we need to multiply the time it takes to frame one wall by six:

$45\times6=270$

It will take a total of 270 minutes to frame all six walls.

To change our time into hours, we divide by 60 minutes, since there are 60 minutes in an hour:

$270\div60=4.5$

Since half an hour (0.5) is 30 minutes, we say it will take 4 hours, 30 minutes to frame all six walls.
