If Trent spent two-fifths of the time swimming, that is the same as counting only 2 of the 5 equal boxes. All 5 boxes together is 50 minutes. Since each box is 10 minutes, 2 out of the 5 would be 20 minutes.

This is the same as writing:
[tex] \frac{2}{5} * 50 = 20[/tex]

Hope this helps! :)
2/5 =x/50
5x = 100
x = 20
Trent spent 20 minutes swimming.
