Question 1
Rush order takes the least possible time for preparing the dozen of cookies. The following is a detailed summary of time used to prepare the rush order:
Activity Time
Wash the bowl, add and mix ingredients 6 minutes
Dish up the tray (1 dozen) 2 minutes
Put the cookies in the oven, start timer 1 minute
Bake the cookies 9 minutes
Remove the tray from the oven* 0 minute
Let the cookies cool 5 minutes
Pack the cookies 2 minutes
Accept payment 1 minute
Total time: 26 minutes

It will take 26 minutes to fill the rush order.

Let the cookies cool 4*60/5= 48 dozens
Pack the cookies 4*60/2= 120 dozens
Accept payment 4*60/1= 240 dozens
