Convert all to decimals then add. Thank you for answering. UwU :)

a) 52.17

b) 48.71

c) 51.93

d) 53.49

Answer 1

The total average time in hours for all the countries listed is 63.8 hours, which is significantly higher than the 3 hours the student spends on social media. The provided multiple-choice answers seem to contain an error as the correct total does not match any of the given options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total average of the countries' time in hours and compare it to the student's social media time, we need to first convert all time values to decimals, sum them up, and then compare the total average to the 3 hours spent on social media by the student.

• Peru: 8.3 (already in decimal form)
• United States: 7 3/5 = 7 + 0.6 = 7.6
• Turkey: 10.2 (already in decimal form)
• Canada: 7 7/10 = 7 + 0.7 = 7.7
• Israel: 11.1 (already in decimal form)
• Russia: 10 2/5 = 10 + 0.4 = 10.4
• Colombia: 8 1/2 = 8 + 0.5 = 8.5

Adding these values together yields: 8.3 + 7.6 + 10.2 + 7.7 + 11.1 + 10.4 + 8.5 = 63.8 hours. Therefore, the answer is 63.8 hours, which is not one of the provided options a) 52.17, b) 48.71, c) 51.93, d) 53.49. Based on the actual calculation, it seems there is an error in the options provided. When we compare this total with the student's 3 hours on social media, we see that it is substantially higher.
