Hello!

If Jeff can finish his assignment in half an hour, or 30 minutes, and he takes 20, this gives us the fraction 20/30. This is equivalent to 2/3.

Therefore, Jeff can complete 2/3 of his assignment in 20 minutes.

I hope this helps!
Let's convert everything to the same units here.  Half of an hour is 30 minutes.  Now, set up a proportion that states he can finish 1 assignment in 30 minutes and x assignments in 20 minutes:

[tex] \frac{1}{30} = \frac{x}{20} [/tex]

Use cross multiplication:

[tex]20 = 30x \\ x = \frac{20}{30} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Jeff can finish 2/3 of his assignment, which is about 67%.
