Question

Jonathan’sparents told him that for every 5 hours of homework or reading he completes, hewill be able to play 3 hours of video games. His friend Lucas’s parents told their son that he can play 30 minutesfor every hour of homework or reading time he completes. If both boys spend the same amount of time onhomework and reading this week, which boy gets more time playing video gamesand how do you know?

Answer 1

Jonathan will be able to play for longer because for every 5 hours spent playing video games, he gets 3 hours of video games. If Luca gets to play 30 minutes per hour of homework, if you multiply 30 minutes by 5, he will only get 2.5 hours of playing video games.
