Tan finished 3/5 of 45 math problems. Each math problem took him 1 4/5 of a minute to complete. At this pace, how much more time, to the nearest minute, will the rest of the problems take him to finish

Respuesta :

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. Calculate the number of problems finished by Tan, as following:

[tex] (45problems)(\frac{3}{5} )=27 problems [/tex]

2. Calculate the number of problems that he has not finished:

[tex] 45 problems-27problems=18problems [/tex]

3. If each problem finished took him [tex] 1^{\frac{4}{5}} minutes =1.8 minutes [/tex], you have that the rest of problem will take him:

[tex] (18 problems)(1.8minutes)=32minutes [/tex]

The answer is: [tex] 32 minutes [/tex]
