Question

If a doctor gave you three pills and told you to take one every half hour, how long would they last?

Answer 1

half hour

Answer 2

Less that a minute.... OH! NO!... I over dose it.

Well, technically, it should last 1 and a half hour (the effect of the medication).

But, it will only take you 1 hour to consume them pills.

Answer 3

1 hour? Because you take one right away, then the second a half hour later, then the third a half hour after that (half + half= 1hr)

Answer 4

no...it is not 1 hour....they would last for 1 1/2 hour......

the first pill would last for half hour...

the second for another half hour...

and the third would also last for half an hour...

it doesn't mean that you took the last pill it is already consumed. it would still last for half an hour. so, technically, all would last for an hour and a half!

^_^

Answer 5

1 hour because when the doctor gave you three pills you took the first one when he gave them to you, then another after half an hour, then another after half an hour.

so 1 hour.

Answer 6

each pill would last a half hour each and three pills would last  one hour and a half

Answer 7

One hour.
