Question: 284
3. During an 80-minute musical, 
of the time was devoted to changes of scenery. If the average time it took to change the scenery was 40 seconds, how many times was the scenery changed?
- A. 12
- B. 16
- C. 24
- D. 96
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C
First, determine how much time was devoted to changing scenery by dividing 80 minutes by 5: 16 minutes. Next, convert 16 minutes to seconds, so you have an apples-to-apples comparison, by multiplying 16 by 60: 960. Finally divide 960 by 40: 24.
