Question

The time taken by Chef A and Chef B to chop vegetables is given below. takes more time to chop vegetables.

• A. Chef A
• B. Chef B
• C. Can't be determined.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Chef B


Time taken by Chef A $=5$ min
Time taken by Chef B $=5\times \frac{3}{2}$ min

To compare the time taken by the two chefs, we need to compare the two fractions.

Multiplying a postive number by another number which is greater than 1, the result becomes greater than the original number.

$\because \frac{3}{2}>1$
so, $5\times \frac{3}{2}>5$

∴ Chef B takes more time to chop the vegetables.
