Strange description. Both start at the same time or at different times? One of them do the test and stop, and then the other do the test; so sum of time comes up to 96 minutes?

---
Jennifer spent 7 times as many minutes as Susan.

x, Susan
7x, Jennifer

Assuming both begin at the same time but Susan finishes before Jennifer, then Jennifer worked on the test during ALL 96 MINUTES. In this interpretation, Jennifer spent all 96 minutes on the test; and Susan spent minutes, to the nearest whole minute.

This might be the other way the description was meant:

-
Then Jennifer would spend minutes on the test.
