Sean spends 49 minutes doing his homework or about 38% of the total time he will spend. About how long will he spend doing his homework?

49 minutes is 38% of what number?

38% = 0.38

0.38x = 49
x = 128.94

49 is 38% of 128.94

128.94 minutes = y hours
60 minutes = 1 hour

128.94 ÷ 60 = 2.15

Sean will spend 2 hours and 15 minutes doing his homework.
