Question

Jonathan's parents told him that for every 5 hours of Academic Prep work he completes, he would be able to play 3 hours of video games. His friend Lucas's parents told their son he could play 30 minutes for every hour of Academic Prep work he completes. If both boys spend the same amount of time on Academic Prep work this week, which boy would get more time playing video games? How do you know? *

Answer 1
