To determine the time it takes Buffy to produce a weapon or food in minutes, we can use the following conversion:
1 hour = 60 minutes
For producing weapons, Buffy can make 6 units in 2 hours, so in 1 hour she can make 6/2 = 3 units. Therefore, it takes her 60/3 = 20 minutes to produce a single weapon.
For producing food, Buffy can make 18 units in 3 hours, so in 1 hour she can make 18/3 = 6 units. Therefore, it takes her 60/6 = 10 minutes to produce a single unit of food.
Therefore, the answer is B) 10;3.33, as that matches our calculation.
