Question

what math teacher made up this question?
Glenn needs 20 minutes to clean his room. If his little sister Veronika pulls things out while he is cleaning, it takes 60 minutes for him to clean the room. How many minutes does it take for Veronika to pull everything out?

Answer 1

I feel like the answer I want to give is not what they're thinking the answer _should_ be.

Answer 2

my answer is five seconds , but the answer they want is 30 minutes
has to be one of the dumbest questions i have seen lately !

Answer 3

I think the solution is simple: waterboarding.

Answer 4

lol

Answer 5

why do they want 30 minutes though? just get a vacuum cleaner and get rid of all the junk in the room. Takes 5 seconds XD

Answer 6

i know it is 30 minutes because of the answer choices given
they want the solution to \[\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{60}\] as if that has anything to do with it
right to the "bad math" pile

Answer 7

I remember you asking another question similar to this, it was the exact same solution
