Victoria Huber · Answer 2

8 hours for math and science each

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 8 = 32

3 x 8 = 24

32 + 24 = 56 hours

- You need to keep what you multiply, (ex. 8), the same as you work through this problem.

- Such as this problem, sometime the best methods are to just guess and check. This means to think of a number that is reasonable and try it. For example, if you try 5 and you see it is too low, go higher. Keep doing this and you would have got to 8 eventually.
