Answer 6

G=20
K=5*G
Or K=5*20

Answer 7

Are you having trouble?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Gretchen= 20 is a representation of how many min she worked. I use G to represent her.
I used K to represent how long Kevin worked compared to Gretchen

Answer 10

Kevin worked five time the amount of Gretchen. So I wrote K=5*G
From before we know G=20
Substitute 20 in for G and you get
K=5*20

Answer 11

In your problem they uses b instead of K

Answer 12

b= 5 x 20 D right thanks and sorry

Answer 13

Don't be sorry
