Each horse ride lasts 5 minutes with 1 minute pause in between the next ride. After every hour and a half the horse are given a rest. How many children can get a opportunity to ride a horse before they rest

Respuesta :

The 15 children get an opportunity to ride a horse before they rest if the horse ride lasts 5 minutes with a 1-minute pause in between the next ride. After every hour and a half, the horse is given a rest

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

Each horse ride lasts 5 minutes, with a 1-minute pause in between the next ride. After every hour and a half, the horse is given a rest.

Let's assume the number of children that rides the horse is x

Then we can frame a linear equation in one variable:

5x + 1x = 60+30  (After every hour and a half, the horse is given a rest.)

After solving we get:

6x = 90

x = 15 rides

Thus, the 15 children get an opportunity to ride a horse before they rest if the horse ride lasts 5 minutes with a 1-minute pause in between the next ride. After every hour and a half, the horse is given a rest
