Answer 2

Answer:

The time left for $8:00\ pm \ 30$ minutes ago from now is $54$ minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of minutes from $6:00\ pm\ to\ 8:00\ pm$ is $120$ minutes.

Let the number of minutes passed from $6;00\ pm$ to right now be x minutes.

Then, the number of minutes left for$8:00\ pm$pm is $\frac{1}{4x}$

The total of the two times in $120$ minutes.

$= > x+\frac{1}{4x} =120$

=>5x/4=120

$= > therefore\ x=96\ minutes.$

The time left from right now to $8:00\ pm$ is $\frac{96}{4} =24$minutes.

The time left for $8:00\ pm\ 30\ minutes$ ago from now is $54\ minutes.$
