@Mrs lukman Olatunbosun: The idea of critical thinking is amazing. It helps the learners to think deeply.2024-06-03 16:03:10

@Mrs lukman Olatunbosun: Possible answers may vary, but a critical thinker would use reasoning skills to determine that it would still take 20 minutes for all 20 sweaters to dry in the sun. This is because each sweater will dry individually in 20 minutes, regardless of the number of sweaters placed in the sun.2024-06-03 16:04:24
