Question

In his free time gary spends 7 hours per week on the internet and 13 hours a week playing video games. If gary has 5 hours of free time per day approximately what percent of his free time is spent on the Internet and playing video games?

Answer 1

So per week, 7 hours on internet, and 13 playing games.

We can combine these two values, as they're both a part of the answer.

7 + 13 = 20

So, Gary has 5 hours a day.

7 days in a week, so 5 * 7 = 35

That means 35 hours of free time a week.

So, time spent on the internet and video games can be represented as 20/35

To find the percentage, we can just divide.

20/35 = 0.57, or 57%

57% of free time is spent playing video games
