Answer 1

Given that 55 bridesmaids want to make 325 favors for a wedding.

This means that each bridesmaid will be making on the average
`(325)/(55)=5(10)/(11)` favors.

Given that aach favor takes about
`2 (1)/(2)` minutes to make.

Thus, each bridesmaid will be spending about


`5(10)/(11)*2 (1)/(2)= (65)/(11) * (5)/(2) \\ \\ = (35)/(22) =14.77\approx15 \ minutes`
