Answer: 104.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply proportions:

Six students eat 6 apples in 33 seconds.

The proportion is: number of apples eaten /time

6 apples /33 seconds = 6/33

For 19 apples:

19 apples / x seconds =19/x

6/33 = 19/x

Solving for x:

x = 19 / ( 6/33)

x = 104.5 seconds

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
