Question

A bakery needs to make 7 batches of muffins before opening in 4 hours. Each batch of muffins takes 2/3 hour to bake. Will the bakery have enough time to bake 7 batches of muffins?

A) Yes
B) No

Answer 1

No, the bakery will not have enough time to bake all 7 batches of muffins before opening, as they would need approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes, which exceeds the available 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is whether a bakery has enough time to bake 7 batches of muffins before opening in 4 hours, given that each batch takes 2/3 of an hour to bake. To determine this, we calculate the total time needed to bake all batches by multiplying the number of batches by the time per batch:

• Time per batch = 2/3 hour
• Total time needed = 7 batches × (2/3 hour/batch)
• Total time needed = 14/3 hours or about 4 hours and 40 minutes

Since they have exactly 4 hours before opening and they need approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes, the bakery will not have enough time to bake all 7 batches of muffins. Therefore, the answer is B) No.
