Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
The machine worked for 2 hours and 40 minutes, or 160 minutes, to complete one third of the job, so the entire job will take $3 \cdot 160 = 480$ minutes, or 8 hours. Hence the doughnut machine will complete the job at 4:30 PM.
机器工作了2小时40分钟,即160分钟,完成了任务的三分之一,因此整个任务需要$3 \cdot 160 = 480$分钟,即8小时。因此甜甜圈机器将在下午4:30完成任务。
