A metronome is a device similar to a clock and is used to maintain the tempo of a muscal piece. Suppose one particular piece has 180 measures with 3 beats per measure and a metronome marking of 80 beats per minute. Determine the length (in mintues) of the musical piece by using hte following verbal model.

Metronome*Length of musical pieace=Number of measures in musical piece*Number of beats per measure
 
How many total beats will there be? How many beats are there per minute? So how many minutes will be taken up by this number of beats? (Hint: Divide.)
