If the total amount of time is spent on all 5 problems was redistributed so the same time was spent on each problem, how many minutes would each problem take

Question

how much time will each question take

Answer 1

The English phrasing here is faulty.  The word "is" ought not to appear in the first line. at all.

Also, the word ""was" ought to be "were" (subjunctive).

 

Here's an answer: Each problem would require one fifth of the total time (whatever that is).
