Question

The bar diagram represents 12 months in a year. If u slept 33% of the year how many months are spent sleeping? Represent your answer using the bar diagram.

Answer 1

Rounded to whole numbers, if he slept for 33% of the year, he slept for a total of 4 months.

Explanation:

Given that in a year there are a total of twelve months, if he slept for 33% of the year, to determine how many months are spent sleeping the following calculation must be performed:

12 - (12 x 33/100) = X

12 - (12 x 0.33) = X

12 - 3.96 = X

8.04 = X

12 - 8.04 = 3.96

Thus, rounded to whole numbers, if he slept for 33% of the year, he slept for a total of 4 months.
