Answer: It takes jax 50 1/2 minutes to prepare potatoes.

Answer 2

It takes jax 50 1/2 minutes to prepare potatoes. You add 15, 26, and 8 which is 49. You have a quarter and a three quarters so u add those and that equals one. Leaving you with 50 minutes and a left over half. So 50 and 1/2 minutes. (Sorry if that seems confusing)
