Question

Nilsa is working on a 60-minute math test. There are 20 questions on the test. If it takes her 20 minutes to complete 12 of the questions, what is the greatest amount of time on average she can spend on each of the remaining 8 questions? Write an inequality for the problem situation and solve it.
