a customer asks a grocery butcher to prepare a custom order. the butcher can prepare 4 similar orders in an hour. which is the best estimate to give the customer for how long the order will take to prepare?\na) about 15 minutes\nb) about 0.25 hour\nc) about 1/2 hour\nd) about 0.5 hours

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate time per order

1 hour = 60 minutes. If 4 orders take 60 minutes, then for 1 order, we divide total time by number of orders. So the time for 1 order is $t=\frac{60}{4}$ minutes.

Step2: Simplify the result

$\frac{60}{4}=15$ minutes. Also, 15 minutes in hours is $\frac{15}{60}=0.25$ hours.

Answer:

A. about 15 minutes, B. about 0.25 hour
