Question

Anna spent 1 hour 25 minutes less than Joey reading last week. Joey spent 45 minutes less than Pete. Pete spent 3 hours reading. How long did Anna spend reading?

Answer 1

Anna spent 50 minutes reading

Explanation:

Pete spent 180 minutes reading. Since Joey spent 45 minutes less than Pete, you can do 180-45=135. So, Joey spent 135 minutes reading. Using this, we know that Anna spent 85 minutes less than Joey. So we can do 135-85=50 minutes.

Hope this helps!
