Question

You have been cleaning diesel dispensers for 35 minutes. You have completed 6 dispensers. How many minutes has it taken you to clean 1 dispenser?*

Answer 1

If it takes you 35 minutes to clean 6 dispensers, you can divide 35 by 6 to determine the length of time it takes to clean 1.

35 / 6 = 5.8333.

It takes approximately 5.83 minutes to clean one dispenser.

Answer 2

Answer:
`5(5)/(6)\text{minutes}`

Explanation:

Given: The number of dispensers have been cleaned = 6

Time taken to clean the 6 dispensers = 35 minutes

Then , to find the time taken to clean 1 dispenser we need to divide the total number of minutes by the total number of dispensers which have cleaned .

i.e. the number of minutes it takes to clean 1 dispenser =
`(35)/(6)`

⇒ The number of minutes it takes to clean 1 dispenser =
`5(5)/(6)\text{minutes}`
