=> We need to find the total time spent reading the book, so we'll add the times given for each day.
=> So, we must add the following fractions:
4/5 + 1/6 + 2/5
Fractions can only be added when they all have a common denominator. To make a common denominator, we'll multiply the numerator and denominator with the same number:
(4/5 x 6/6) + (1/6 x 5/5) + (2/5 x 6/6)
= 24/30 + 5/30 + 12/30
So, the total time adds up to 41/30 hours.
Therefore, Paul read his book for 41/30 hours.
If you need to convert this to minutes, it's approximately 1 hour and 22 minutes.
