Ricardo spends 8/9 hour reading the newspaper. He spends 1/4 of the time reading the world news and splits the remaining time equally between the sports news and the comics. How much time does he spend reading the comics?

Answer 1

Total reading time: 8/9
World news: 1/4 of 8/9
= (1/4)*(8/9)=2/9
Remaining time = 8/9 - 2/9
=(8-2)/9=6/9
Half of remaining time
= (1/2) 6/9
= 3/9
=1/3 h.
