Answer:
8 minutes
Explanation:
The time Luis spent walking = 16 minutes
The time Natalie spent walking = w minutes
Luis walked twice as long as Natalie.
Twice means 2 times of something.
This means that we multiply Natalie's time by 2 to get Luis' time.
[tex]\begin{gathered} Luis\text{ Time=}2\text{ }\times\text{ Natalie's time} \\ \implies16=2w \end{gathered}[/tex]
Next, the equation is solved to see how long Natalie walked.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 16=2w \\ \text{Divide both sides of the equation by 2} \\ \frac{16}{2}=\frac{2w}{2} \\ 8=w \\ \implies w=8\text{ minutes} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The time Natalie spent walking is 8 minutes.
