Question
If Parambir earned $22 dollars for “Jump Rope for Heart” and he received 5 cents per minute. How many minutes did Paramir skip for?
Solution
To find out how many minutes Parambir skipped for, we need to convert his earnings from dollars to cents because his rate is given in cents.
Step 1: Convert $22 to cents. Since 1 dollar is equal to 100 cents, we multiply 22 by 100. 22 dollars * 100 = 2200 cents
Step 2: Now, we know that Parambir earned 2200 cents and he received 5 cents per minute. So, we divide his total earnings by the rate per minute to find out how many minutes he skipped for. 2200 cents / 5 cents/minute = 440 minutes
So, Parambir skipped for 440 minutes.
