Click to expand... We will do a similar problem. You can make 2 sandwiches in 5 minutes. How long would it take you to make 134 sandwiches? Let The time to make 134 sandwiches = T minutes Then \(\displaystyle \dfrac{2}{5} \ = \ \dfrac{134}{T}\) \(\displaystyle T \ = \ \dfrac{134 * 5}{2} = \ 335 = 5 hrs. 35 min.\) Follow the same route.....
