Answer:

50 minutes

Explanation:

First, we will divide 10 minutes by 16 to find the number of minutes to serve one person:

10 divided by 16 is .625

now we find how long to serve 80 people:

we multiply .625 by 80 and get 50

So our answer is 50 minutes!

Have a great day, let me know if this helped you out.
