Mr. rodriquez was on the telephone for 182 minutes. She called 7 friends to invite them to a luncheon. If she spoke to each friend an equal amount of time, how many minutes did she speak to each friend

We know Mr. Rodriquez talked for a total of 182 minutes! And Mr. Rodriquez Called 7 of her friends to invite them to luncheon. The problem then says an equal amount of time! This tells us we have to divide. Simply do 182 divided by 7 which gives us a total of 26 minutes each friend she spoke to

He spoke to each friends for 26 minutes

How I found out : how I found out is that all you have to do it get the total amount which in this question it is going to be 182. And you would need to dive 182 by 7 to find the unit rate (182/7) which is going to equal 26. which means he called each friend for 26 minutes
