Alex spent 32% of his time doing math if he spends 50minutes doing his homework how many minutes did he spend in math

x over 50 = 32 over 100

cross multiply 32 and 50 to get 1600

then dived 1600 by 100 to get 16

so he spent 16 minutes on his homework

To get the answer we must find 32% of 50 (minutes). So the answer is 16. Hope this helps.
