Question

John read the quarter of the time that Tom read. Tom read only 2/5 of the time that Sasha read. Sasha read twice as long as Mike. If Mike read five hours how long did John read?

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate how long Sasha read. Since Sasha read twice as long as Mike, she read 2 * 5 = 10 hours.

Next, we need to calculate how long Tom read. Tom read only 2/5 of the time that Sasha read, so he read 2/5 * 10 = 4 hours.

Finally, we need to calculate how long John read. John read the quarter of the time that Tom read, so he read 1/4 * 4 = 1 hour.

Therefore, John read for 1 hour.
