Q. Samir spent 21 as long working on his physics homework as Cory did. If Samir spent 40 minutes on his physics homework, how long did Cory spend on his physics homework?A) 20 minutesB) 40 minutesC) 60 minutesD) 80 minutes
Reasoning: Reasoning: Samir spent half the time Cory did.Calculation: Let Cory's time be x minutes. So, 2x=40.
Calculation: Reasoning: Solve for x.Calculation: Multiply both sides by 2 to get x.x=40×2x=80
Reasoning: Reasoning: Check the math.Calculation: 280=40, which matches Samir's time.
