Jonathan's parents told him that for every 5 hours of homework or reading he completes, he would be able to play 3 hours of video games. His friend Lucas's parents told him that he could play 30 minutes for every hour of homework or reading time he completes. If both boys spend the same amount of time on homework and reading this week, Which boy gets more time playing video games? How do you know?
Accepted Solution
A:
Jonathan gets more time playing video games because if they both spend say, ten hours doing homework, Jonathan will get 6 hours of video games, ( because 5*2=10) but Lucas will only get 5 hours, (10*0.5). I hope that helps.
