if u ask me this’s a pretty simple but tricky question.

i guess the correct answer is a) 2/x

it’s like eating pizza, the whole pizza with all slices is x hours and eating 2 slices means 2 out of the whole pizza(x)

and in math 2 outta the whole(x) is written as: 2/x

hope that’s clear enough

let x equal another number and substitute it.

so say x = 8,

to find out what part he can mow you would want to have

x/2

my answer would be b.
