Answer 2

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.
