Question

Charlotte earns 212 minutes of playing video games for every 5 math homework problems she completes. Tonight's homework has a total of 24 math problems. What is the MOST time she will be able to play video games tonight?

minutes

Answer 1

the MOST time she will be able to play video games tonight = 1018 minutes

Explanation:

let x be the minutes we have to find

for every 5 math problems = she gets 212 minutes of playing video games

for 24 math problems = she gets x minutes of playing video games

x/212 = 24/5

x = 24/5 * 212 = 1018 minutes

thus,

the MOST time she will be able to play video games tonight = 1018 minutes
