Answer 1

The option of 6 minutes with 8 tickets given more time for the money.

Explanation:

Which one gives you more time for your money?

We have to find the time per ticket, which is the number of minutes divided by the number of tickets.

6 minutes: 8 tickets

6/8 = 0.(60/8) = 0.75 minutes per ticket.

8 minutes:12 tickets

8/12 = 2/3 = 0.(20/3) = 0.667 minutes per ticket.

So the option of 6 minutes with 8 tickets given more time for the money.
