Bite-sized ghosts

According to the question a story takes $5$ minutes to be told and the total stipulated time is $2$ hours i.e equal to $120$ minutes. So, we can easily find out the number of stories that are told in these $120$ minutes which is equal to $\frac{120}{5}$ $=\boxed{24}$ stories.

2hours is=120min so 120/5=24......

1 story lasts 5 minutes and, X stories last 120 minutes (2 hours = 60x2 = 120 minutes) Finding X gives us: X = (1x120)/5 = 24

An hour lasts 60 minutes, and 60 divided by 5 is 12. This means the school kids can tell 12 ghost stories per hour, and since the question is asking us for the amount of stories in 2 hours, we simply have to double the amount of stories in one hour, which equals 24.

24 :P

2 hours have 2x60 = 120 minutes each story lasts 5 minutes = 120/5 = 24 ghosts ans/

if an hour have 12 \times 5 min then the 2 hours have 24 \times 5 min the story lasts 5 min the answer is 24 story

There are 12 five minutes in an hour. So for 2 hours, you multiply by 2.

an hour=60 minutes. So if a kid will tell 1 story in about 5 minute. 2 hr= 60(2) therefore 120/5=24. 24 is the number of ghost stories that must be told in about 2 hours

2hrs make 120minutes... 120/5 makes 24 stories

Uma história dura 5 minutos então em 2 horas=120 minutos: 1 história =5 minutos; X =120 miutos; X=120/5; X=24

Time to taken to tell each story = 5 minutes Let x stories be told in 2 hours,i.e.,120 minutes, Therefore, x= 120 min/5 min = 24 Therefore 24 stories can be told in 2 hours.

2 hours = 120 minute so 120/5 = 24 stories

2/(5/60)=24

1 hour = 60 minutes, since 2 hours is given; 60 times 2 = 120; therefore: 120/5 =24

120/5=24

there are 120 minutes in 2 hours. so to find the number of story told by the children, just take 120/5.

If 1 story= 5 mins.(time taken) Then, stories in 2 hours i.e. 2*60=120 mins. will be 120/5 which is 24.

1 hour = 60 minutes 2 hour = 120 minutes each story lasts for 5 min so, 120/5=24

I first convert hours to minutes then I divide that answer by 5 minutes

If 1 story = 5 minutes

2 hours = 120 minutes

120 minutes divided by 5 minutes = 24 stories.

2 hours =120 minutes 120 / 5=24

2 hours=120 min. for every 5min =1 ghost story so for 120 min=? cross multiply to get the answer. so 24 is the answer.

ok since every story lastst 5 minutes and we know that the time spent telling the stories was 2 hours or 120 minutes we know that 12 * 5 = 60 so doubling we know that 24*5 = 120 then you need 24 sotries of 5 minutes each to spend 120 minutes or two hours telling them.
