Answer: Tt will take approximately 19.03 minutes.

Explanation:

Formula required:
(M_1T_1)/(W_1)=(M_2T_2)/(W_2), where
M_1 = number of men,
T_1 = time taken,
W_1 = work in situation 1, and
M_2 = number of men,
T_2 = time taken,
W_2 = work in situation 2.

Given: If 2 pretzel makers can make 444 pretzels in 6 hours.

i.e.
M_1=2,\ W_1=444, T_1=6\ hours

To find :
T_2 for
M_25, W_2=88

Substitute all value sin formula , we get


(2*6)/(444)=(5* T_2)/(88)\\\\\Rightarrow T_2=(8*88)/(444*5)=0.3171\ hour


=0.3171* 60= 19.026\text{ minutes}\ \ \ \ [\text{1 hour = 60minutes}]

hence, it will take approximately 19.03 minutes.
