Answer:

37.5%

Explanation:

Calculation for the probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 10 and 13 minutes

Probability of washing dishes=(13minutes-10minutes)/(15minutes-7minutes)

Probability of washing dishes=3 minutes/8 minutes

Probability of washing dishes=0.375*100

Probability of washing dishes=37.5%

Therefore the probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 10 and 13 minutes is 37.5%
