Calculating the amount of time to work on each question

[kos]

Hello,

Please help.

I have an exam that has 100 questions, and I am given 1 hr and 35 minutes to complete the assignment. Therefore, how much time do I have to work on each question without going over the allotted time?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's say you have only 2 questions. How much time do you have for each?

I think you should solve this using direct proportion

95/2
47.5 minutes

divide the 95 with 100 instead

1.09 sec per question

[Albi]

1.09 sec per question

I think it is 1.35 sec

You have more problem than minutes! If you had 95 problems to do in 95 minutes then you would have exactly 1 minute per problem. If they add in a 5 more problems how can that increase the time per problem?

Who says anything about increasing the time? The answers so far are 1.09 and 1.35 seconds.

Ouch, I assumed the units were minutes! Oh my.
