Answer:

Explanation:

Brandon takes 1/4 of a 24-hour period to read 1/3 of his book. At this rate, how many hours will it take Brandon to complete the book?

1/4 of 24 hours = 0.25 × 24 = 6 hours

so:

Brandon takes 6 hours to read 1/3 of his book. To read the full book, going at the same reading rate:

6 × 3 = 18

It takes Brandon 18 hours to read the book.
