Question

Arron spent 10 minutes less then twice as long as Shannon did on math homework. Aaron worked for 50 minutes. Use h to represent how many minutes Shannon worked on her homework.

Answer 1

Twice as long as Shannon worked for 2h minutes.
Therefore, Aaron spent (2h - 10) minutes on math homework.
Given that Aaron worked for 50 minutes, we have the equation:
2h - 10 = 50
2h = 60
h = 30

Therefore, Shannon worked for 30 minutes on her homework.
