Question
James finished writing his English homework in 5 minutes. Solomon took 2 times more time to complete the English homework than James. In how many minutes did Solomon finish his English homework ?
The correct answer is:
Time taken by james = (2 x 5 + 1 )/2 minutes. = 11/2 minutes.
Solomon takes ( ( 2 x 4 + 3)/ 4 ) times more minutes. = 11/ 4
Hence, Solomon took 11/2 x 11/4 = 121/ 8 minutes.= 15 1/8 minutes.

At the pottery class, Eric made a clay mug measuring 6 inches. She also made a flower pot, which was 2 times taller than the mug. How tall was the pot?
Height of clay mug = ((6x 6) +1)/2= 37/6 inch.
Given, pot was ((2 x 2)+ 1) / 2 times taller = 5/2 times. Hence, height of pot = 37/6 x 5/2 = 185/12 = 15 5/12 inch
