Ok so im not good with words and math, but i am going to try my best to explain it. first you will take 45/60 which is the 45 miles per hour. next you will put it equal to 40/x. x is how many minutes. they are set equal to each other because they are the same ratio. (i honestly dont know why you cross multiply, but you just do). you then multiply 40*60 and 45*x. this gives you 2400=45x. you then divide both sides by 45 and get 53 1/3 minutes. or 53 minutes and 20 seconds

Joel spent 72.5% of his time exercising after playing soccer on Tuesda

<h3>How to determine the percentage?</h3>

The given parameters are

Minutes spent on Tuesday = 27 more minutes than Monday

Total minutes spend = 60

This means that

Tuesday = Monday + 27

Monday + Tuesday = 60

Make Monday the subject in Tuesday = Monday + 27

Monday = Tuesday - 27

Substitute Monday = Tuesday - 27 in Monday + Tuesday = 60

Tuesday - 27 + Tuesday = 60

Evaluate

2 * Tuesday = 87

Divide by 2

Tuesday = 43.5

The percentage of time spent exercising on Tuesday is then calculated as

Percentage = 43.5/60 * 100%

Evaluate the expression

Percentage = 72.5%

Hence, Joel spent 72.5% of his time exercising after playing soccer on Tuesday
