If Cassie works at a constant rate, will Cassie have enough time to bake four pies?
(1) If Cassie had one-third as much time, she would be able to bake one pie.
(2) Cassie can fit three pies in her oven at one time.
Let's look at each statement individually and then at both of them together (if required):
Statement 1: If Cassie had one-third as much time, she would be able to bake one pie.
Let Cassie have T time to bake the pies. Now, for one pie, she requires T/3 time, thus in T time, she would be able to bake a total of 3 pies. Thus, she does not have enough time to bake four pies.
Hence, we can uniquely determine the answer by using Statement 1 alone.
Now, let's check for Statement 2:
Statement 2: Cassie can fit three pies in her oven at one time.
Now, this statement does not tell anything about the time Cassie takes in baking the pies.
Hence, Statement 2 is insufficient alone to determine the answer.
Thus, the correct answer is Option A - Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but Statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
(1) If Cassie had one-third as much time, she would be able to bake one pie.
(2) Cassie can fit three pies in her oven at one time.

If T is the total time and P is the time required to bake one pie then:
Basically we need \(\frac{ t}{4p} \geq 1\)
Needless to say if \(4p>t\), then fraction will be less than \(1\). Meaning she won't have enough time to bake \(4\) pies.
1) If Cassie had one-third as much time, she would be able to bake one pie.
\(\frac{t}{3p} \geq 1\) or \(\frac{t}{p} \geq 3\)
INSUFF.
Let's take an example.
Let the total time she has, be \(3.3\), One third of \(3.3\) is \(1.1 \)
If the time required to bake \(1\) pie is \( 1.1\) then to bake \(4\) pies she would need \(4.4\). Cassie would NOT be able to bake \(4\) pies.
If the time required to bake \(1\) pie is \(\hspace{2.5mm} .8\) then to bake \(4\) pies she would need \(3.2\). Cassie would be able to bake \(4\) pies.
Question doesn't imply that in 1/3 the time, she managed to bake \(1\) pie on the dot, second for second. She could have finished on the dot or still have some time remaining.
Hence A is INSUFF.
(2) Cassie can fit three pies in her oven at one time.
We do not know how much total time she has nor how much time she needs to bake 1 pie.
INSUFF.
1+2
Still INSUFF

Hope it helped.
