QUESTION 3 Mr Faku also runs another business of baking muffins. The customer ordered 5 dozen for a function. It takes 20 minutes to prepare and then 30 minutes to bake a tray with 24 muffins. The baking tray must be full of muffins when they are baking 3.1 Determine how many muffins will be needed by the customer. 3.2 Mr Faku claimed that it will take less than two hours to bake 5 dozen of muffins. Verify with appropriate working, whether his claim is valid or not.

Your question about Mr. Faku's muffin business is quite delightful! Let’s break it down fun-style: To satisfy his customer who ordered 5 dozen muffins, we start by calculating: 5 dozen equals 60 muffins (because 1 dozen = 12). Now, let’s check Mr. Faku's time calculations! Preparing takes 20 minutes, plus the baking time. With each tray holding 24 muffins (2 trays are needed for 60 muffins), and each tray baking for 30 minutes, that totals 60 minutes (30 minutes for each of the 2 trays) plus 20 minutes for preparation, resulting in a total of 80 minutes. So, Mr. Faku's claim that it takes less than 2 hours is indeed valid! And voilà, Mr. Faku is on track to delight his customer with those scrumptious muffins! 🍰
