Answer:

3 minutes 20 seconds

Explanation:

Time taken to eat 1/4 of a hamburger = 5/6 minute

  • The entire burger = 4/4
  • Since 1 x 4 = 4, it will take 4 times the amount of time taken to eat 1/4 of a hamburger

Solving

  • T = 5/6 x 4 minutes
  • T = 20/6 minutes
  • T = 3 2/6 mintues
  • T = 3 minutes 20 seconds
