Answer 1

We know that each escape room is scheduled for 20 minutes. So, if there are 8 participants, then they need 160 minutes, which is equivalent to 2.67 hours.

So, the expression would be

$\frac{20\times8}{60}$

On the other hand, if there are 16 participants, then the hours needed are

$2\cdot\frac{20\times8}{60}\approx5.33$
