Which equation represents this problem?
the time it takes tomás to bike to the community center is 2 minutes less than half the time it takes him to bike to the city park. it takes tomás 18 minutes to bike to the community center.
let p = the time it takes tomás to bike to the park.

a.
2p+1/2=18

b.
1/2p+2=18

c.
2p–1/2=18

d.1/2p–2=18

Let's turn this english into numbers:
The time it takes Tomás to bike to the community center is 2 minutes less than half the time it takes him to bike to the city park.
Since p = the time it takes Tomás to bike to the park, and it takes18 minutes to bike to the community center, the sentence turns into:
18 = 2 minutes less than half p
18 = 2 minutes less than 1/2p
18 = 1/2p-2
D.1/2p–2=18

Total: 18 hours

it takes Tomás to bike to the community center is 2 minutes less than half the time it takes him to bike to the city park, so equasion is 1/2p–2=18

D

16 minutes is correct

72 is the mode because it shows up the most number of times
