Question: Sonia and Joss are moving to their new house at the lake. They have too much stuff in their previous house and decide to make multiple trips to move it all to the new house. They spend 15 minutes filling the car with their stuff and spend 30 minutes driving from the previous house to the new house. Fortunately, they did not waste any time unloading their stuff into the new house. In total they make 6 trips to complete the move. How many hours did they spend moving?
Answer: They spend 15 minutes / trip + 30 minutes / trip = 45 minutes / trip filling the car and driving to the new house. They had to take 6 trips, so they spend 45 minutes / trip x 6 / trip = 270 minutes. They also had to drive back to their previous house 5 times to complete the move: 30 minutes / trip x 5 trips = 150 minutes. In total, they spent 270 minutes + 150 minutes = 420 minutes. Each hour has 60 minutes so they spent 420 minutes ÷ 60 minutes / hour = 7 hours in total. The answer is 7.
