4. stretch your thinking tony is cooking dinner. he starts cooking at different times, so all the foods will be ready at the same time. the chicken takes 25 minutes to cook, the rice takes 40 minutes to cook, and the green beans take 15 minutes to cook. all the foods are finished at 5: 33 p.m. at what time did he start cooking each food?

Time taken by chicken to get cooked = 25 minutes

Time taken by rice to get cooked = 40 minutes

Time taken by green beans to cook = 15 minutes

Time at which all the foods get cooked = 5:33 pm

So, we will subtract the cooking time of each food item from 5:33 to know the time when Tony starts cooking them.

For chicken, he started cooking it by = 5:33-25 = 5:08 pm

For rice, he started cooking at = 5:33-40 = 4:53 pm

For green beans, he started cooking at = 5:33-15 = 5:18 pm

Hence, Tony started cooking chicken at 5:08 pm. He started cooking rice at 4:53 pm and green beans at 5:18 pm.
