Question

Toby has spent 30 minutes of his games console this week.This is 25% of the total time he is allowed in a week. How long is Toby allowed to spend on his console in a week?

Answer 1

120 minutes

Explanation:

We know that Toby has spent 25% of his total allotted time, or 30 min on gaming. To find how long Toby is allowed to spend in total, we must understand how long 100% of his total alloted time is.

Notice how 100% is 4 times 25%.

All we have to do is scale 30 min by 4 to find how long 100% is:

`4*30=120` minutes.

Toby is allowed to spend 120 minutes total on his console in a week.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
