Solution

First, we need to find out how long Shawna takes to solve one math problem. We do this by dividing the total time she spent by the total number of problems she solved.

Last night, Shawna spent 45 minutes solving 15 math problems. So, the time she takes to solve one problem is 45 minutes / 15 problems = 3 minutes/problem.

Tonight, she needs to solve 10 math problems. If she takes 3 minutes to solve each problem, then the total time she will spend is 10 problems * 3 minutes/problem = 30 minutes.

So, Shawna will spend 30 minutes solving tonight's math problems.
