Question

If it takes Tom 15 minutes to eat a burger and then 5 minutes to eat a portion of fries, how many burgers and portions of fries would he be able to eat in one hour?

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

15 minutes for one burger and another 5 for one portion of fries. If he has to eat a portion of fries after each burger that's 20 minutes. An hour is only 60 minutes allowing only enough time to eat 3 burgers and portions of fries. Simply because 60 divided by 20 is 3.

Answer 2

Tom could eat 4 burgers and 12 portions of fries.
