Mrs. Baker has 200 minutes to finish her laundry before her children return home from school. She spends 60 minutes washing and drying the clothes. She takes 2 times as much time folding the clothes and putting them away. How much time is left before Mrs. Baker's children return home?

Answer:

20 minutes remaining.

Explanation:

200 minutes - 60 minutes = 140 minutes

140 minutes - 2(60) minutes = 20 minutes

Thus, she has 20 minutes left or 1/3 of an hour before her children return home.
