Nate got lost looking for his car in the airport parking lot. He had to walk through every row in Section G and Section H to find it. Section G has 15 rows that each hold 10 cars. Section H has 20 rows that each hold 9 cars. If Nate can walk past 11 cars per minute, how many minutes did he spend searching the parking lot? Let's be accurate as possible.

First find the number of cars in Section G by multiplying the number of rows by the number of cars per row: 15 rows * 10 cars / row = 150 cars. Then do the same thing for Section H: 20 rows * 9 cars / row = 180 cars. Then add the two quantities of cars to find the total number of cars Nate walked past: 150 cars + 180 cars = 330 cars. Finally, divide the number of cars Nate passed by the numbers he passes each minute to find how long he spent searching: 330 cars / 11 cars / minute = 30 minutes.
The answer: 30.
