Jacob is 14 years old. Mathew is 10 years old. They work 120 minutes altogether. How many minutes does each boy work?

60, because the age doesn't count, and because there are two people, it is reasonable to say that they each worked half and half

120 divided by 2 = 60min

Each boy works 60 min

Hope this helps!
