Answer 1

42 seconds

Explanation:

The equation is 1.2t = 50.4

how to solve:

1.2t = 50.4

first, divide from both sides

1.2t/1.2 = 50.4/1.2

the 1.2t/1.2 cancels out.

so we have 50.4/1.2 left

when you do the math you get the answer 42!

so 42 seconds.

Answer 2

the equation is 1.2t=50.2 And the solution is 42
