Answer:
22¹/₂ minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
If Trent and Vivian go to the basketball court at the park for 45 minutes after school to practice shooting free throws, the total time it takes for the both of them to shoot free throws is 45 minutes.
Let the amount of time Trent and Vivian shoot the free throws be t₁ and t₂ respectively.
Since they both throw at equal times, t₁ = t₂ = t.
Now t₁ + t₂ = 45 the total time it takes to shoot the free throws.
Since, t₁ = t₂ = t.
t₁ + t₂ = 45
substituting t into the equation, we have
t + t = 45
adding the t's, we have
2t = 45
dividing both sides by 2, we have
t = 45/2
t = 22¹/₂ minutes
So, it takes each person 22¹/₂ minutes to shoot free throws.
