  1. Let the duration of each period be x.
    Period 8 9
    Duration of period (in minutes) 45 x
    Here the number of periods and the duration of periods are in inverse proportion.
    ∴ 8/9 = x/45 ⇒ xX9 = 8×45 ⇒ x = 8×45/9 = 40 minutes
    Hence, the duration of each period would be 40 minutes.
