Because 1 minute is 60 seconds, and it takes 12 seconds to download 8 apps, the first thing we need to do is find out how many "sets" of 12 seconds can go in 60 seconds:

60 / 12 = 5

Now, all we have to do is multiply the number of apps by 5, and we get our answer:

8 · 5 = 40

So, it would take Deandre 1 minute to download 40 apps.
