We have an equation: 1/?= 25/100

Cross multiply:
25*?= 1*100
⇒ ?= 1*100/25= 4

She has 4 hours of free time each day~

Answer:

Option: D is the correct answer.

The number of hours of free time she have each day is:

D) 4

Explanation:

It is given that:

Nell spends 25% of her time surfing the internet.

Also she spends 1 hour per day surfing the internet.

Let she has x hours of free time.

This means that:

25% of x=1 hour

i.e.


(25)/(100)* x=1\\\\\\(1)/(4)* x=1\\\\\\x=4

Hence, the number of hours of free time each day is:

4 hours.
