Answer 2

Lani spent 72 minutes of her workday in meetings.

Explanation:

We have been given that Lani spent 15% of her 8-hour workday in meetings. And we have to find the number of minutes she spend in meetings.

In 8 hours we have
`8 * 60 = 480 \text{ minutes}`

Thus, in order to find the number of minutes she spend in meetings, we can find the 15 percent of 480

`480*0.15=72`

Therefore, she spent 72 minutes of her workday in meetings.
