Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the problem step by step.
Problem:
Isa finished 30% of his homework in 27 minutes. We need to determine how many more minutes it will take Isa to complete his homework at the same pace.
Step 1: Calculate the total time required to complete the homework.
If 30% of the homework takes 27 minutes, we can set up a proportion to calculate the time needed for 100% of the homework.
Solving for (total time):
Step 2: Find how many more minutes Isa needs.
Since Isa has already spent 27 minutes, the remaining time is:
Answer:
The answer is (A) 63 minutes.
Would you like further clarification on any part of this? Here are some related questions to practice:
- If Isa finished 25% of his homework in 20 minutes, how much time would it take him to complete the entire homework?
- What percentage of homework has Isa completed after working for 45 minutes at the same pace?
- If Isa works for 15 more minutes, how much total homework will he have completed?
- How long will it take Isa to finish 50% of his homework at the same pace?
- What is the rate (in percentage per minute) at which Isa completes his homework?
Tip: Using proportions is a powerful way to solve problems involving percentages and time!
