Monique has 2 hours to complete 3 homework assignments. She wants to spend the same amount of time on each assignment. How many minutes does she have for each assignment? *

20 points
10 minutes
20 minutes
30 minutes
40 minutes

Answer 1

Answer: Option D, (40 minutes) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation: Time she has to complete 3 assignments = 2 hours.

Let the time taken to complete each assignment be 'x'

→ 2 hours = 120min

∴ The amount spend for each assignment is the same.

∴ Time taken for each assignment = 120/3 = 40min

∴ It takes 40 min to complete each assignment, Option D.
