Answer:
ok so first i want to figure out what 2/5 converted to percent is......
you can find it out on a calculator or on paper by dividing 2 / 5 = 0.4
so this is 40% and if it takes him half a minute to do this, it takes him about 30 seconds to finish 40% of the essay and there is a full 60% still waiting to be done, so lets see,
40% + 40% = 80%
so that is about 1 full minute to write 80% we are still left with 20% so let's see how much time does it take to write 20% of the essay, in 40% it takes 30 seconds and in 80% it takes 60 seconds. So since 20% is half of 40% then we must divide the time in half so 30 / 2 = 15
So if we add all these numbers up it equals 1:15 minutes to write an essay
I hope this helps and please mark brainliest if i got it right!
