Answer:

75 minutes or 1 hr and 15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

for history, he studied 2 hrs and 40 minutes....thats a total of 160 minutes

this is 10 minutes more then twice the time he spent on his last exam.

let x represent the time spent on last exam

160 = 2x + 10

160 - 10 = 2x

150 = 2x

150/2 = x

75 = x.......so he spent 75 minutes (or 1 hr and 15 minutes) on his last exam

Answer:

I think Zachary studied for 80 more minutes for his history exam than he did with his last exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 hr and 40 min = 120+40= 160.

160 / 2 = 80.

This might be wrong also. Not very good with story problems.
