C. 2 hours
D. 2.5 hours

Answer 1

The total time spent by all competitors performing in a 2-hour gymnastic meet with 8 competitors is 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert 2 hours to minutes: 2 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 120 minutes.
2. Calculate the total time spent by all competitors performing: 8 competitors x 15 minutes/competitor = 120 minutes.
3. Convert 120 minutes to hours: 120 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 2 hours.

Therefore, the total time spent by all competitors performing is 2 hours.
