Solution

The correct option is B 5
The life of the battery = 120 hours

She uses it all day and night, i.e. for 24 hours
So, the number of days the battery will run = 120 ÷24
Let's use repeated subtraction to find the answer.

120 - 24 = 96
96 - 24 = 72
72 - 24 = 48
48 - 24 = 24
24 -24 = 0

Therefore, the battery will last for 5 days.
