Answer:
60 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Time taken to rake 12ft² = 10 minutes
Area of Mindy’s rectangular path :
Area of rectangle = Length * Width
Dimension of Mindy’s rectangular path = 9ft by 8ft
Area = 9ft * 8ft
Area = 72ft²
Hence, it will take Mindy;
(Area of Mindy’s path / 12 ft) * time taken
(72ft² / 12ft²) * 10 minutes
6 * 10 = 60 minutes
