Question

a hotel housekeeper needs to clean 15 rooms during an 8 - hour shift. which of the following is a good estimate for the time a housekeeper should spend in a room? a) about 15 minutes b) about 30 minutes c) about 1 hour d) about 1/2 day

Explanation:

Step1: Convert 8 hours to minutes

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, 8 hours = \( 8\times60 = 480 \) minutes.

Step2: Calculate time per room

The housekeeper needs to clean 15 rooms in 480 minutes. So time per room = \( \frac{480}{15} = 32 \) minutes (approximately 30 minutes).

Answer:

B) about 30 minutes
