Question

In an office, the working hours are 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and in between 30 minutes are spent on lunch.Find the ratio of office hours to the time spent for lunch ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Office starts at 10.30 AM and ends at 5.30 PM.

So from 10.30 AM to 12.00 PM, we have 1 hour and 30 minutes and from 12.00 PM to 5.30 PM we have 5 hours and 30 minutes.

So the total time is 1hour30min+5hours30min=7hours1hour30min+5hours30min=7hours

1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, so 7 hours is equal to 7×60=4207×60=420 minutes.

So the office time is 420 minutes and the lunch break is 30 minutes.

Ratio of office hours to the time spent for lunch is 420min30min=141420min30min=141

So, the correct answer is “14:1”.
