Q
Tell me, if it takes one hour to dry three towels on an outside 10 metre washing line, how long will it take to dry six towels.
Ans
Assuming all the towels are of the same size, it would take 2 hours to dry 6 towels on the washing line. Here's why: if it takes 1 hour to dry 3 towels, that means you can dry 1 towel in 1/3 of an hour or 20 minutes. Therefore, to dry 6 towels, you would need 6 times as long, which is 6 x 20 minutes = 120 minutes or 2 hours
