Johnny ate 8 pies in 5 minutes

He must have ate 1 pie in (5/8) minutes

(5/8) minutes = 5/8 * 60 = 75/2 = 37.5 seconds

On each pie he spent 37.5 seconds.

Answer:

Jonny spent 0.625 minute or 37.5 seconds on each pie.

Explanation:

At a pie eating contest Jonny ate 8 pies in 5 minutes.

He spend time on eating each pie =
(5)/(8)

= 0.625 minutes

to convert 0.625 minutes to seconds we multiply it by 60

0.625 × 60 = 37.5 seconds.

Jonny spent 0.625 minute or 37.5 seconds on each pie.
