Answer:

93.33 minutes

Explanation:

The total time to repair the road is the product of the area of the road and the time it takes to repair one square foot.

Total time = Area of road × Time per square foot

In this case: we have

Area of road = 18.3 square feet

Time per square foot = 5.1 minutes/square foot

Substitute the given value:

Total time = 18.3 square feet × 5.1 minutes/square foot

= 93.33 minutes ( in 2 d.p)

Therefore, it will take 93.33 minutes to repair the section of road.
