Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 22.5 to 22.5

Explanation

Normal work content is observed time times rating fraction:15×1.20=18 normal minutes. At80% performance, required observed time=18/0.80=22.5 min. Faster performance reduces time inversely; rating percentages should not be subtracted from elapsed time.
