Question

Nilsa is working on a 60 minute math test. There are 20 questions on the test. If it takes her 20 minutes to complete 12 of the questions, what is the
greatest amount of time on average she can spend on each of the 8 remaining questions? Please write an inequality too :)

Answer 1

She can't spend more than 5 minutes on each of the remaining 8 questions.

It's a 60-minute test in which she has spent 20 minutes answering 12 questions. That means that there are 40 minutes remaining (60-20) to answer the remaining 8 questions. That's 40 divided by 8 = 5.
