well, its 10 for 4. so 8 is 20, 12 is 30, 16 is 40 20 is 50, and 24 is 1 hour, 2 tabels is half the time so 5 min... so it would take -1 hour and 5 min

The time it will take the waitstaff to clear and set all the 26 tables in the dining room is;

1 hour 5 minutes

  • We are told that the waitstaff takes 10 minutes to clear and set 4 tables.

Thus, rate of clearing and setting 1 table = 10/4

rate of clearing and setting 1 table = 2.5 minutes per table

  • Now, we want to find out how long it will take her to clear and set 26 tables at the rate we got above.

By use of proportions, we can find it as;

Time it takes to clear and set 26 tables = 2.5 × 26

Time it takes to clear and set 26 tables = 65 minutes

We know that 60 minutes make 1 hour, thus converting the time to hour and minute gives us;

1 hour 5 minutes
