Sue loves science! She knew from her first day of school that she wanted to be a scientist when she grew up. She loves solving mysteries and working with scientific equipment. But what really appeals to Sue is the continuing search for knowledge. In science, the body of knowledge is never fixed; it is always growing.
Sue was having trouble deciding which of the many branches of science she was best suited for. She had learned about physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, anatomy and geology - just to name a few! To help with her decision, Sue became a lab assistant for her science teacher.
One morning, she was asked to set up 15 microscope stations for a class. The students in the class were to work on slide drawings. The class had 27 students, and the students had to complete as many slide drawings as they could during the 30-minute lab period. Students would work individually and would need 2 minutes at each station to complete a slide drawing before moving on to the next station.
Sue set up a station rotation so all students had an equal opportunity to complete the slide drawings. The teacher asked Sue to figure out the minimum number of slides each student could be expected to complete during the 30-minute lab period.
Use the information you have been given to figure out the minimum number of drawings each student could be expected to complete during the 30-minute lab period?
