Answer:

295 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Speedy the Sloth drinks tea at a steady rate of 2/7 cups per hour.

Yesterday she drank 1 cup and today she drank 17/42 of a cup more than yesterday. This means today she drank 1 + 17/42 cups.

Time taken to drink 2/7 of a cup = 1 hour = 60 minutes

Time taken to drink 1 cup = \frac{60}{2/7}=210 minutes

Time taken to drink 1+17/42 cups = 210\times1\frac{17}{42}=295 minutes

Since she drinks tea as long as she stay awakes. This means, she stayed awake for 295 minutes today.
