Answer 1

The average time it takes to brew a cup of coffee at Green Bottle Coffee is 90 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Mathematics. The question is asking for the average time it takes to brew a cup of coffee at Green Bottle Coffee, a small coffee shop in Philadelphia that opens every day from 7 am to 5 pm. The baristas at Green Bottle Coffee use a Breville espresso machine to brew the coffee. On average, it takes 40 seconds to brew a cup of coffee, and the baristas require an additional 30 seconds of preparation time before brewing and 20 seconds for cleaning after brewing.

To calculate the total time it takes to brew a cup of coffee, we need to add the preparation time, brewing time, and cleaning time together. So the total time is 40 seconds (brewing) + 30 seconds (preparation) + 20 seconds (cleaning) = 90 seconds.

Therefore, on an average day with 300 uniformly distributed customers, it would take approximately 90 seconds to brew each cup of coffee at Green Bottle Coffee.
