Uncle Lou was given four bags of peanuts to eat on his 2-hour plane flight. Each bag contains 30 peanuts. If he eats all of the peanuts during the flight, one at a time, consumed at equally spaced intervals, what is the length of time, in minutes, between eating each peanut? Let's answer step by step:
Four bags of peanuts, with 30 peanuts per bag, is a total of 4 * 30 = 120 peanuts. Two hours is 60 * 2 = 120 minutes. Thus, consuming 120 peanuts, 1 at a time, at equally spaced intervals over two hours requires 120 / 120 = 1 minute intervals between peanuts. The answer: 1.
