Answer: 300 hrs

The time spent behind the wheel by the average Raleigh driver in 2016 is 300 hrs

Explanation:

Given that;

Raleigh driver spent 18 hours in traffic jams

And it accounts for 6% of their total driving time

Now

let total driving time be = x hrs

so

6% of total driving time = 18 hrs

6/100 × x = 18hrs

6x = 1800 hrs

x = 1800/6

x = 300 hrs

∴ The time spent behind the wheel by the average Raleigh driver in 2016 is 300 hrs
