Question

Kyle’s parents told him that for every 5 hours of homework or reading he completes, he will be able to play 3 hours of video games. His friend victor’s parents told their son that he can play 30 minutes for every hour of homework or reading time he completed. If both boys spend the same amount of time on homework and reading this week, which boy gets more time playing video games

Answer 1

Kyle

Explanation:

Kyle:

Kyle’s parents told him that for every 5 hours of homework or reading he completes, he will be able to play 3 hours of video games.

Victor:

Victor’s parents told their son that he can play 30 minutes for every hour of homework or reading time he completed. If Victor spends 5 hours doing homework or reading, then he could play

`30\cdot 5=150` minutes

that is

`120+30=2` hours
`30` minutes (less than 3 hours).

Hence, if both boys spend the same amount of time on homework and reading this week, then Kyle will have more time to play video games.
