Question

Jordan spent 22% of his time doing math homework. If hw spent 11 minutes on his math homework. How many minutes did he spend on his homework

Answer 1

The total minutes he spend on his homework are 50 minutes.

Explanation:

It is given that Jordan spent 22% of his time for homework on maths.

It is also given that he spent 11 minutes of time on maths homework.

The above two statements are equal.

Let the total time for homework be "x".

Thus, the equation can be written as,

`((22)/(100))(x) = 11`

`x = ((100)/(22))(11) = 50 minutes`

Thus the total minutes he spend on his homework are 50 minutes.
