Solution The answer is option 2. The estimated time per question is equal to the estimated time / (divide) by the number of questions: 31 / 3x60 divide by 100 = 10/3x60 divide by 100 = 10x20 divided by 100 = 200 divided by 100 = 2 min. The actual time is equal to 3 hours (180 minutes). The actual time per question is equal to 180 min / (divide) by the number of questions: 180 / 100 = 1.8 min. The difference between actual time and estimated time =2 minutes – (minus) 1.8 min: 2.0 - 1.8 = .2 min or .2 x 60 sec = 12 sec.
