Answer 2

48min

Explanation:

Gluten intolerant students eat chicken-stuffed peppenrs.

Vegetarian eat pita breads

There are 5 gluten intolerant and 10 vegetarian people.

To make 10 pita breads, it is necessary 10x (hours)

To make 5 chicken stuffed peppers, it is neccesary 5*2x=10x (hours)

He has 8 hours, i.e,

`10x+5*2x=9`

`20x=8`

`x=(2)/(5)`or 0.4

2/5 of 60 min (1 hour) are 24 minutes.

However to make each chicken stuffed peppers he can take 24*2=48 min
