Answer:
a = 0.5 minutes and b = 16 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Time taken by the technician to resolve the problem = Between 30 seconds and 16 minutes
Now,
The lower limit for the time taken by the technician to resolve the problem i.e a = 30 seconds
also,
1 minute = 60 seconds
therefore,
1 second = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] seconds
thus,
30 seconds = [tex]\frac{30}{60}[/tex] seconds = 0.5 seconds
and,
the upper limit for the time taken by the technician to resolve the problem i.e b = 16 minutes
Hence,
a = 0.5 minutes and b = 16 minutes
