26. The first half of a play is 35 minutes longer than the second half of the play. If
the entire play is 155 minutes long, how long is the first half of the play? Write
an equation to solve the problem.

Respuesta :

155-35= 120 (you subtract 35 so you get the number if both plays lasted the same time )
120/2= 60 (you get the amount of time one play lasted without extra 35 minutes)
60+35=95 (then add 35 minutes to one play because 1 one is longer than the other one)

the first half of the play is 95 minutes long.

Answer:

the first half of the play is 95 minutes long

Step-by-step explanation:

155-35= 120 (you subtract 35 so you get the number if both plays lasted the same time )

120/2= 60 (you get the amount of time one play lasted without extra 35 minutes)

60+35=95 (then add 35 minutes to one play because 1 one is longer than the other one)

the first half of the play is 95 minutes long.
