A. 1/4 (x+30+60)=x

B. 1/4 (x)=x(30+60)

C. 1/4x(30+60)=x

D. 1/4(x)=(30+60)

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

• He spends:
• 30 mins on History
• 60 mins on English
• x mins on math
• so the total time he spends is $(TotalTime)minutes=(30+60+x)minutes$
• one fourth of this is his math time, since x is math time, then we have $\frac{1}{4}(TotalTime)minutes=(x)minutes$
• But we know what totaltime in minutes is so $\frac{1}{4}(30+60+x)minutes=(x)minutes$
• or simply: $\frac{1}{4}(30+60+x)=x$
