Final answer:

In 4 minutes and 40 seconds, we can make 4 slices of toast.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the number of slices of toast that can be made, we need to know the time it takes to make one slice of toast. Let's assume that it takes 1 minute to make one slice of toast.

In 4 minutes and 40 seconds, there are 4 minutes + 40 seconds = 4.67 minutes.

Since it takes 1 minute to make one slice of toast, we can make 4.67 slices of toast in that time.

Therefore, we can make 4 slices of toast in 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
