Total time = 2 hours

Time playing video games = 50 minutes

We have to write an equation:

Total time (2hours) multiplied by the percentage in decimal form (x) must be equal to 50 minutes

Time must be in the same unit ( minutes)

since 60 minutes =1 hour

2 hours = 2 (60) =120 minutes

Back with the equation:

120 x = 50

Solving for x

x = 50/120

x = 0.42

In percentage form:

0.42 x 100 = 42%
