A drone photography team captures 500 photos in 5 hours. Windy weather reduces flight time by 25%. New estimated time for same job?
Correct answer: A. 6 hrs
- A. 6 hrs
- B. 6.5 hrs
- C. 7 hrs
- D. 7.5 hrs
Explanation
The original task takes 5 hours. The drone's efficiency is reduced by 25% due to wind, meaning it operates at 75% capacity. To find the new time required, divide the original 5 hours by 0.75, yielding 6.67 hours. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the task will take approximately 6 hours. Hence, Option A is correct. Options B, C, and D incorrectly calculate the impact of the efficiency reduction, leading to overestimations of the time needed.
