Malcolm's family has 3 cats, 2 dogs, 2 rabbits, and 4 hamsters. malcolm's spends an equal amount of time each day playing with each animal. if he spends 55 minutes altogether, how much time did he spend with each animal?

First add up the animals to find how many he has in total.

3 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 11.

Now, divide the total number of minutes (55) by the total number of animals (11)

55 divided by 11 = 5.

So Malcolm spends 5 minutes with each animal, and the answer is 5.

Hope this helps!
