A) 30
B) 40
C) 60
D) 80

Help with this please

Answer 1

C) 60

Explanation:

For computing the difference between the time taken in minutes by Noel and Tyra first we have to compute individually which are as follows

For Noel, the time taken required

`= Time\ required * number\ of\ days`

`= 90\ minutes * 6\ days`

= 540 minutes

For Tyra, the time taken required

`= Time\ required * number\ of\ days`

`= 60\ minutes * 8\ days`

= 480 minutes

So the difference is

= 540 minutes - 480 minutes

= 60 minutes

Hence, the third option is correct
