Given that 55 bridesmaids want to make 325 favors for a wedding.
This means that each bridesmaid will be making on the average [tex]\frac{325}{55}=5\frac{10}{11}[/tex] favors.
Given that aach favor takes about [tex]2 \frac{1}{2}[/tex] minutes to make.
Thus, each bridesmaid will be spending about
[tex]5\frac{10}{11}\times2 \frac{1}{2}= \frac{65}{11} \times \frac{5}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{35}{22} =14.77\approx15 \ minutes[/tex]
