If the time available for guestroom cleaning during a work shift is 6 hours and 48 minutes and each room attendant is expected to clean 17 guest rooms per shift, how long does it take for one room attendant to clean one guest room?

A. 18 minutes
B. 20 minutes
C. 24 minutes
D. 28 minutes

The correct answer is: C. 24 minutes

To determine how long it takes for one room attendant to clean one guest room, we start by converting the available cleaning time from hours and minutes into just minutes. Six hours and 48 minutes can be calculated as follows: - 6 hours = 6 x 60 minutes = 360 minutes - Adding the remaining 48 minutes gives us a total of 360 + 48 = 408 minutes. Next, since each room attendant is expected to clean 17 guest rooms during their shift, we divide the total cleaning time by the number of rooms cleaned: 408 minutes ÷ 17 rooms = 24 minutes per room. Thus, one room attendant takes 24 minutes to clean one guest room. This calculation demonstrates how to effectively allocate time for cleaning duties within the hospitality industry, ensuring that staff can meet expectations without compromising quality. Understanding time management in this context is crucial for maintaining efficiency and guest satisfaction.
