If the student spends no more than 2 hours on math and English homework, and math takes about twice as long as English, let's represent the time spent on English as "x" hours.
Since math takes about twice as long as English, the time spent on math will be 2x.
The total time spent on homework is the sum of the time spent on math and English, which is 2x + x = 3x.
We are given that the total time spent on homework is no more than 2 hours, so we can write the inequality:
3x ≤ 2
To find the maximum time the student can spend on English, we need to solve this inequality for x.
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 3, we get:
x ≤ 2/3
Therefore, the maximum time that the student can spend on English is 2/3 of an hour.
A student spends no more than 2 hours on his math and English homework. If math takes about twice as long as English, what is the maximum time that the student can spend on English?
