Answer:
Time taken to clean all 17 cages = 4.25 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of Guinea pig cage = 17
Time taken to clean 4 cage = 1 hour
So,
Time taken to clean 1 cage = [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] hour = 15 minutes
Therefore,
Time taken to clean 17 cages = 17 × 15 minutes = 255 minutes
= [tex] \frac{255}{60} [/tex] hours
= 4.25 hours
