Answer:

It is not reasonable because it would actually take him 231 minutes to tell jokes in one week. It takes 33 minutes to tell all his 11 jokes in one day.

Explanation:

33 minutes is how long it takes to tell all his jokes in one day.

There are 7 days in a week.

So, 33 x 7 = 231, which means it takes 231 minutes in a week for Derek's cousin to tell all his jokes in a week.
