Given, Avinash works in an office from 9:30 a m
to 5 p m
Between the given time, he takes a break of 30 minutes for
lunch
So, total hours for which Avinash works = (9:30 a m to 5 p m) -
30 minutes
= (9:30 to 17) - 30 minutes
= (17 - 9 :30) - 30 minutes
= 7 : 30 - 30 minutes
= 7 hours
Therefore, Avinash works for 7 hours = 7 Ã— 60
minutes = 420 minutes in a day
Time he spent in lunch = 30 minutes
So, ratio of his lunch break to the working time = 30 minutes :
420 minutes
= 30 : 420
= 1 : 14

Avinash works in an office from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. He takes a lunch break of 30 minutes in between. Find the ratio of his lunch break to hia working time.
