How much more time did he spending watching T.V. and Talking on the Phone than he did Going to School?
8 hours
5 hours
1.92 hours
1.2 hours

Answer 1

Excess time = 1.2 hour

Explanation:

Given:

Total time = 24 hours

Talking on phone = 17 %

Sleeping = 33%

Going to school = 25%

Studying = 4%

Eating = 8%

Computation:

Watching TV percent = 100% - Talking on phone - Sleeping - Going to school - Studying - Studying - Eating

Watching TV percent = 100% - 17% - 33% - 25% - 4% - 8%

Watching TV percent = 13%

Time taken by school = 24 x 25%

Time taken by school = 6 hour

Time taken by watching T.V. and Talking on the Phone = 24 x (13% + 17%)

Time taken by watching T.V. and Talking on the Phone = 7.2 hour

Excess time = 7.2 - 6

Excess time = 1.2 hour
