\(40\ \text{minutes}\)

Show Worked Solution
\(10\ \text{minutes}/150\ \text{tickets}\) \(=\dfrac{10}{150}\ \text{minutes}/\dfrac{150}{150}\ \text{tickets}\)
  \(=\dfrac{1}{15}\ \text{minute}/1\ \text{ticket}\)
  \(=\bigg(\dfrac{1}{15}\times 600\bigg)\ \text{minutes}/600\ \text{tickets}\)
  \(=40\ \text{minutes}/600\ \text{tickets}\)

 
\(\therefore\ \text{It would take}\ 40\ \text{minutes to sell}\ 600\ \text{tickets.}\)
