Answer:

40 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you solve this problem!

We are given that Alison does 8 math problems in TWO minutes.

Considering this, we can conclude that Alison can do FOUR math problems in ONE minute. (That's pretty impressive, if you ask me!)

To recap how I solved this, I put 8/2 in simplest form, which left me with 4/1.

NOTE: Per 1 minute, Alison completes 4 problems.

By doing mental math myself, I concluded that my answer was 40 minutes for Alison to complete 160 math problems. I had to check it, though!

The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 160 and 40 was 40.

I divided both terms by the GCF, which is again 40.

160 ÷ 40 = 4

40 ÷ 40 = 1

This brings us back to our improper fraction in simplest form 4/1!

Therefore, Alison will take about 40 minutes to complete a set of 160 problems.

I hope this helped you out! Comment below if I can help you with anything else! :)

The measure of the supplement of an angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the angle. Find the measures of the angle and it'

astra-53 [7]

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees-

Let x = "the angle"

supplement angle = 2x + 12 // 12 more than twice the measurement of "the angle"

Supplement angle + "the angle" = 180 degrees

(2x + 12) + x = 180 degrees // 2x + 12 is the supplement angle

3x + 12 = 180 // Simplify

3x = 168 // Subtract 12 from both sides

x = 56 degrees // Divide both sides by 3

The measure of the angle is 56° and its supplement is 124°
