Question

Yesterday you wanted to make an enormous batch of rolls, so you

borrowed some special yeast from your aunt's top-secret bread
research facility. Once you mixed the yeast, flour, and water, the
dough began to double in volume every minute! After 13 minutes, at
exactly 5:53, your bowl was hali full. At what time will your bowl be
full of dough?

Answer 1

6:06

Explanation:

After 13 minutes, at exactly 5:53, your bowl was half full. At what time will your bowl be full of dough?

We have;

1/2 full = 13 minutes

1 (full of dough) = x minutes

1/2x = 13 × 1

x = 13 ÷ 1/2

x = 13 × 2

x = 26 minutes

Hence the bowl would be full of dough after 26 minutes.

26 minutes - 13 minutes

= 13 minutes

This means dough increased in size

= After 13 minutes again.

The time at which your bowl be

full of dough is calculated as:

The initial time is was 1/2 full + 13 minutes

5:53 + 13 minutes

=5:66 minutes

= 6 hours 6 minutes = 6:06

The bowl would be full of dough at 6:06
