Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Leisure hours Joshi has = 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Joshi spends ¹/₄ of his leisure hours reading.
• He spends ²/₃ of the remaining time watching television.
• He spends 2 hours watching television.

Find:

Leisure hours = ?

Solution:

Let the leisure hours be $x$

Joshi spends ¹/₄ of his leisure hours reading. That is,

Time spent on reading = $\frac{1}{4} \times x = \frac{x}{4}$

Remaining time = leisure hours - time spent on reading

                          = $x-\frac{x}{4}$

                          = $\frac{4x-x}{4}$

                          = $\frac{3x}{4}$

Joshi spends ²/₃ of the remaining time watching television. That is,

Time spent on watching television = $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3x}{4}$

                                                          = $\frac{x}{2}$

Given that, Joshi spends 2 hours watching television,

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} =2$

⇒ $x = 2 \times 2 =4$

That is, Leisure time = 4 hours
