Answer: First half was 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken to finish the second half be y.

Since the student used 2/3 of the second half time to finish the first half, first half = 2/3 × y = 2y/3

The entire exam is an hour which equals 60 minutes

First half + Second half = 60minutes

Note that first half is denoted as 2y/3 and second half is denoted by y.

2y/3 + y = 60

5y/3 = 60

Cross multiply

5y = 60 × 3

5y = 180

y = 180/5

y = 36

Second half took 36 minutes

Since first half is 2y/3, it will be:

(2×36) / 3

= 72/3

= 24minutes

First half took 24 minutes.

Answer:

The area is 432cm squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area, first you split the figure into 2 rectangles.

The rectangle facing up would be 8cm by 30cm, and the rectangle pointing to the left would be 8cm by 24cm (because you subtract 8 by 32). Next, with those numbers, you can easily find the area. 8cm x 30cm equals to 240cm squared, and 8cm x 24cm equals to 192cm squared. Lastly, you add the both of the areas together, 240cm and 192cm, and you get 432cm squared.
