"It takes Emmet 25 minutes to finish of his homework."
x = number of minutes it takes Emmet to finish ALL of his homework
= number of minutes it takes for Emmet to finish of his homework
Multiply both sides by 3:
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 37.5 or 37-1/2
Therefore, it will take 37-1/2 (or 37.5, whichever version--mixed number or decimal--you prefer) minutes for Emmet to finish all of his work.
