1/4 = 3/12 of time reading books
(2/3) * (3/4) = 1/2 of time on TV

x = total leisure time

x/2 = 2

x = 4 hours

.

Let x be the total time of his leisure. After spending x/4 for reading books, remaining. Then, based on the problem description, you have this equation = 2. Simplify = 2, x = 2*2 = 4. ANSWER. x = 4: the total time of his leisure is 4 (four, FOUR) hours.

@CubeyThePinguin, you again use some hysterics style of solving problems, even without reading of their descriptions.

Try to switch to some more peaceful/slower adequate style . . .
