Answer: 51 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, Pete spent 3 hours reading. Bill spent 47 minutes less than Pete reading so Bill spent:
= 3 hours - 47 minutes
= 2 hours 13 minutes
If Bill spent 2 hours 13 minutes reading and Timothy spent 1 hour 22 minutes less than this, the amount of time that Timothy read for was:
= 2 hours 13 minutes - 1 hour 22 minutes
= 51 minutes
