Answer 2

Answer:

60 Steamed buns

Step-by-step explanation:

5 People can finish 20 steamed buns in 3 mins 20 seconds.

Rate of consumption is same for every participant

Steamed buns consumed by single person in 3 mins 20 sec will be = 20/5 = 4

One person will consume 4 steamed buns in 3 mins 20 sec

Time required for single person to consume one single steamed bun will be

T = (3 min 20 sec)/4

T = (3×60 sec + 20 sec)/4

T = 50 sec

Time required by single person to consume one bun = 50 sec... (1)

Let's find number of buns consumed by one person in 1 min

Number of buns = 1 min/ time for consumption of 1 bun = 60/50

Number of buns / min/ person (n)...(2)

To find number of buns consumed by 10 people in 5 mins

N = n×number of people × time on mins

N = 1.2×10×5

N = 60

Number of steamed buns 10 people can finish in 5 mins = 60
