There are two people in this problem and both of them get time for playing if they complete the homeworks in their allotted time. Taking the first instance of Jonathan For every 5 hours of doing homework, the number of hours Jonathan gets for playing video games = 3 hours Then For every 1 hour of doing homework, the number of hours Jonathan gets for playing video games = (3/5) * 1 hours = 3/5 hours = 0.6 hours = (0.6 * 60) minutes = 36 minutes Taking the second instance of Lucas For every 1 hour of doing homework, the number of minutes Lucas gets for playing video games = 30 minutes Then we can easily say that if both Jonathan and Lucas spend the same amount of time doing homework, then Jonathan gets more playing time than Lucas.
