Answer:

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
