What’s the time, Mr Jones?!

Mr Jones has asked the teachers to set up some parent teacher interviews. They have been allowed 3 hours on a Tuesday and 2 hours on a Wednesday. The interview sessions start at 2pm each day.

 1. If each interview goes for only 10 minutes, how many interviews could be scheduled if all time slots were full?

 2. Is there enough time slots for each person in your grade? Why/why not?

 3. Mr Jones has said that your teacher must have a half hour break after having four interviews in a row. What will the timetable look like now?
