2.5h = 5

h + 1 + 1.5 = 5

h + 5 = 1 + 1.5

h - 1 - 1.5 = 5

1 answer

To find out how many more hours of television Stephen can watch, we need to subtract the hours he has already watched from the maximum allowed hours.

Stephen has already watched 1 hour on Monday and 1.5 hours on Tuesday, so in total, he has watched 1 + 1.5 = 2.5 hours.

The maximum allowed hours of television is 5 hours.

To find out how many more hours Stephen can watch, we subtract the hours he has already watched from the maximum allowed hours:

5 - 2.5 = 2.5

Stephen can still watch 2.5 hours of television.
