Susan did a puzzle in 5 minutes and 55 seconds. Jamal did the same puzzle in 11 minutes and 42 seconds. Susan says, ‘I did the puzzle in less than half the time Jamal did the puzzle. Is Susan right?

Answer:

No, Susan is not right.

Explanation:

Susan's time = 5:55

Jamal's time = 11:42

Half of Jamals time = 5:51

5:55<5:51

Susan is not right
