22.5 minutes, or 22 minutes and 30 seconds. In order to find the answer, you would have to multiply 90 by 25%, which can be converted to 0.25 to make multiplying easier. Hope this helps!

Answer

Find out the how many minutes are spent preparing.

To proof

As given

A recipe takes 90 minutes to make.

25 percent of the time is spent preparing the ingredients.

25% is written in the decimal form


= (25)/(100)

= 0.25

Time spent in preparing = 0.25 Ă— 90

= 22.5 minutes

Therefore the 22.5 minutes are spent preparing the ingredients.

Hence proved
