Cross multiply.

2x=36
x=12

It would take her 12 minutes.

Formula for surface area of a cube: 6a² where a=20.

6 x (20)²
6 x 400
= 2400

Surface area: 2400 cm

Mean absolute deviation: The average distance from each number in the set to the mean of the set.

Mean of the set: $\frac{(3+8+10+12+15)}{5} = \frac{48}{5} = 9.6$

9.6-3=6.6
9.6-8=1.6
10-9.6=0.4
12-9.6=11.4
15-9.6=5.4

Mean of 6.6, 1.6, 0.4, 11.4, and 5.4: $\frac{(6.6+1.6+0.4+11.4+5.4)}{5} = \frac{25.4}{5} = 5.08$
