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.
The fraction Is already in its simplest form :)
They do not have any common factors
<span>The x in this problem represents multiplication, or finding the product of the two numbers. In this case, this problem represents six multiplied nine times, or adding the number six nine times. So the number six added to the number six a total of nine times is fifty-four.</span>
