Madison spent 3 times as long on her social project as she did on her other project. If she spent a total of 8 hours on he projects how long did she spend on her social project

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Madison spent x hours on her social project,

then the number of hours spent on other project will be 1/3 of x=x/3

Total hours spend on all projects will be the addition of hours spent on social project and hour spent on other project, i. e

x + x/3 = 4x/3

It si given that this is 8 hours, therefore

4x/3=8

Multiplying both sides by 3:

4x=24

Dividing across board by 4:

x = 6 hours
