To find out how long Mason played the piano on Wednesday, we need to calculate the total time he played on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
On Monday, Mason played for one hour, which is equivalent to 60 minutes.
On Tuesday, he played for 30 minutes longer than Monday, so we need to add 30 minutes to the 60 minutes he played on Monday. That gives us a total of 90 minutes on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Mason played for 15 minutes longer than Tuesday. So we need to add 15 minutes to the 90 minutes he played on Tuesday to find out how long he played on Wednesday.
Therefore, Mason played piano for 90 + 15 = 105 minutes on Wednesday.
If he played for 30 mins on Tuesday and played for 15 mins longer on Weds then he did on Tues, you add 30+15 to get 45.
So on Weds he played for 45 mins.
