An office opens at 9am and closes at 5.30pm with a lunch break of 30minutes. What is the ratio of lunch break to the total period in the office?

1:17

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out how long it it between 5.30pm and 9am. This is 8 hours 30 minutes or 510 minutes.

Now, arrange them in the ratio of Lunch Break to Total office time

30:510. This can be simplified to 1:17

Please check if the question is worded correctly, just in case. Because ratio questions are usually based on a part and the remaining parts of the same thing, and not part to whole.

Anyway. The answer given if for the question you have typed.

Hope this helps.

50 min

step-by-step explanation:

they will be decreasing both their times in half

60 / 2 = 30

40/2 = 20

30 + 20 = 50

it will cost dollar $540

the living room is 3 which means if we divide 325/3 then we get $108

therefore if 1part of the living room cost $108 and 3 costed $325

then total 5part of the room will cost 5*108 which gives $540
