A student spends no more than 2 hours on his math and English homework. If math takes about twice as long as English, what is the maximum time that the student can spend on English?

If the student spends x hours on English, then they will spend 2x hours on math.
The total time spent on both subjects is 2 hours, so we can set up the equation: x + 2x = 2.
Combining like terms, we get 3x = 2.
Dividing both sides by 3, we find x = 2/3.
Therefore, the maximum time that the student can spend on English is 2/3 hour or approximately 40 minutes.
