Question

Jennifer can do 8 math problems in 20 minutes. How long would it take her to complete a 10 question test at the same rate?

Answer 1

25 minutes

Explanation:

→You can set this problem up as a proportion, like so:

`(8)/(10) =(20)/(x)`

→Cross multiply:

`(8x)/(200)`

→Divide 200 by 8:

x = 25

Answer 2

25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: 20 divided by 8 equals 2.5 so she take 2 and a half minutes per question. 2.5 plus 2.5 equals 5 so just add five minutes on her original time. 25 minutes
