Question

Brandi spent 25 mins, which is 5/8 of her class period taking notes. How long was the class period?

Answer 1

Answer: I believe your answer is 40 minutes for Brandi's class period.

Step-by-step explanation: For every 5 minutes she spends in class, it is 1/8 of her total period of class time. For example, she spent 25 minutes and has 15 minutes or 3/8 left of class.

Answer 2

The class period was 45 minutes long

Explanation:

as you can see 5/8 of the class is 25 minutes, meaning that 1 = 5 if we multiply 8 times 5, it gives 45.
