Tom and Panashe, together, scoop 58 ice-creams in an hour.

Panashe scooped an extra ice-cream every 5 minutes.

How many ice-creams did Tom scoop in that hour?

Tom scoops approximately 45 ice-creams in one hour based on Panashe's extra scooping contributions. The calculations showed that Panashe's additional scoops also play a crucial role in totaling 58 ice-creams. The final amount for Tom may vary with Panashe's assumed rate but reflects logical estimations.

To find out how many ice-creams Tom scooped in one hour, we can use the given information that together Tom and Panashe scooped 58 ice-creams and that Panashe scooped one extra ice-cream every 5 minutes.
Let's break down the problem step-by-step:

Determine how many ice-creams Panashe scooped:

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, and Panashe scoops an extra ice-cream every 5 minutes, he will scoop ice-creams 60 / 5 times in an hour.

This results in 12 extra ice-creams scooped by Panashe (because r a c 60 5 = 12 ).



Calculate Panashe's total number of scoops:

The total number of ice-creams Panashe scooped is therefore 12.


Calculate the number of ice-creams scooped by Tom:

Since Panashe scooped 12 ice-creams and together they scooped a total of 58 ice-creams, Tom must have scooped the remainder.

To find Tom's scoop count, subtract Panashe's scoop count from the total: 58 − 12 = 46

Therefore, Tom scooped 46 ice-creams in that hour.




In conclusion, Tom scooped 46 ice-creams in one hour.
