Let the number of comic books be X if we add 14 to X = 24 so we will find the value of X to get half initial number of comic books William had. 14+X=24 X=24-14 X=10 so the total innitial number of comic books William had is 10+10=20 books.
11 hours and 15 minutes because doing 2.25, which is equal to 2 hours and 15 minutes, times 5 you end up getting 11.25, and converting that to time you get 11 hours and 15 minutes.
