I don't know if I am right, but the answer is 35.

Wade:35
Mariah:29
(35+8)+(29+8)=80
35-29=6

Well if you subtract 8 from the total sum 80 you’ll be left with 72 and since you have two people divided 72/2 = 36 their both 36 at that step but wades older by 6yrs so then you subtract 6 from Mariah and add 6 to Wade. So now Mariah is 30 and Wades 42 add those together and add 8 or add 8 to either of their ages to check you answer.

Answer: $\frac{20}{3}\ minutes$ or $6 \frac{2}{3}\ minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.

2. Add the product obtained and the numerator of the fraction (This will be the new numerator).

3. The denominator does not change.

Then:

$23\frac{1}{3}= \frac{(23*3)+1}{3}= \frac{70}{3}\ minutes$

You know that he had 30 minutes in time-out, he counted spots on the ceiling for $\frac{70}{3}$ minutes and the rest of the time he made faces at his stuffed tiger.
