Question

Jimmy read half the amount of time that heather read. Heather read only one- forth the time that .Conner read twice as long as Laura . If Laura read for 2 hours how long did jimmy read

Answer 1

he reads 5.0 hours

Explanation:

Conner read twice as long as Laura.

Answer 2

Jimmy reads 0.5 hours.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of hours read by Laura = 2 hours

Now Given:

Conner read twice as long as Laura.

So we can say that;

Number of hours read by corner will equal to 2 times Number of hours read by Laura.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of hours read by corner =
`2* 2 =4\ hours`

Also Given:

Heather read only one- forth the time that of Conner.

So we can say that;

Number of hours read by heather will be equal to
`(1)/(4)` times Number of hours read by Corner.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of hours read by Heather =
`(1)/(4)* 4 =1\ hours`

Again Given:

Jimmy read half the amount of time that heather read.

So we can say that;

Number of hours read by Jimmy will be equal to
`(1)/(2)` times Number of hours read by Heather.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of hours read by Jimmy =
`(1)/(2)* 1 =0.5\ hours`

Hence Jimmy reads 0.5 hours.
