In a confrontation with battle droids, twelve Jedi engage in combat. Each Jedi can destroy 10 droids per minute. At the end of each minute, four Jedi retreat and are replaced by four Padawans, each of whom can destroy half as many droids as a Jedi per minute. After the last four Jedi retreat, the Padawans continue fighting the droids alone. At the end of the confrontation, a total of 720 battle droids are destroyed. Throughout the confrontation, all Jedi and Padawans fight at their full rates, with none incapacitated. How many minutes did the Padawans fight alone after the last Jedi retreated?

解析

### 过程解析: 第1分钟:12名绝地武士摧毁了120个机器人。 第2分钟:8名绝地武士摧毁80个机器人,4名学徒摧毁20个机器人,共摧毁100个机器人。 第3分钟:4名绝地武士摧毁40个机器人,8名学徒摧毁40个机器人,共摧毁80个机器人。 在最后一名绝地撤退前,已摧毁的机器人总数为:\( 120 + 100 + 80 = 300 \)个。 已知总共要摧毁720个机器人,因此最后一名绝地撤退后,学徒需要摧毁的剩余机器人数量为:\( 720 - 300 = 420 \)个。 由于12名学徒每分钟能摧毁\( 12 × 5 = 60 \)个机器人,因此摧毁剩余机器人需要的时间为:\( 420 ÷ 60 = 7 \)分钟。 答案:D
