An office worker is allowed to take three 10-minute coffee breaks over the course a normal work day,
which lasts from 9.am to 5p.m at randomly chosen times.
If someone tried to ask the office worker at a random time during the work day, what is the probability
that the worker will be on a coffee break?
A)1/6
B) 1/8
C)1/4
D)3/4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The total duration of the three coffee breaks is 3*10 minutes = 30 minutes.
The total working day duration is 8 hours from 9 am to 5 pm, or 8*60 = 480 minutes.
The probability under the question is = .
