ricardo spends 8/9 hour reading the newspaper. He spends 1/4 of the time reading the world news and splits the remaining time equally between the sports news and the comics. How much time does he spend reading the comics?

1/3 of an hour reading the comics

To find out how much time Ricardo spends reading the comics, we first need to determine how much time he spends reading the sports news.

Ricardo spends 1/4 of the total time reading the newspaper on the world news. This means he spends 1/4 * 8/9 = 2/9 hour reading the world news.

To find out how much time is left for the sports news and comics, we need to subtract the time spent on the world news from the total time spent reading the newspaper: 8/9 - 2/9 = 6/9 hour.

Since Ricardo splits the remaining time equally between the sports news and the comics, each portion is half of the remaining time: 6/9 / 2 = 3/9 hour.

Therefore, Ricardo spends 3/9 hour, which simplifies to 1/3 hour or approximately 20 minutes, reading the comics.

3/4 * 8/9 = 24/36 = 2/3 hour
