Answer 1

Answer:

he reads 5.0 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Conner read twice as long as Laura.

Answer 2

Answer:

Jimmy reads 0.5 hours.

Step-by-step 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 = $2\times 2 =4\ hours$

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 $\frac{1}{4}$ times Number of hours read by Corner.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of hours read by Heather = $\frac{1}{4}\times 4 =1\ hours$

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 $\frac{1}{2}$ times Number of hours read by Heather.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of hours read by Jimmy = $\frac{1}{2}\times 1 =0.5\ hours$

Hence Jimmy reads 0.5 hours.
