activity.
Q.1 Answers
Time she spends on games console Time she spends on reading

Answer 1

Let x be a time she spends on reading.

So, 4x is a time she spends on games console.

We have: $x+4x=200.$

$x=\frac{200}{4+1}=40.$

$4x=4*40=160$.

Time she spends on reading: 40 minutes.

Time she spends on games console: 160 minutes.
