Answer 1

3.75 hours

Step-by-step explanation

John spent 12.5 hours at the water park and he estimated that he spent 30% of that time waiting in line.

To find the amount of time he soent waiting in line, we have to simply find 30% of 12.5 hours.

That is:

`(30)/(100)\cdot\text{ 12.5 = 3.75 hours}`

It is reasonable to say that he spent 3.75 hours waiting in line.
