According to this pie chart from the Bureau of Labor Statistic's 2011 American Time Use Survey, what percentage of the average weekday do full-time university and college students spend on educational activities? Round percentage to one decimal place. Full-time university college students spend % of an average weekday on educational activities.

Answer 1

14.6%

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Activity >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Time (hour)

Travelling >>>>>>>>>>>>> 1.4

Grooming >>>>>>>>>>>>> 0.8

Eating and drinking >>>>> 1

Education >>>>>>>>>>>>> 3.5

Working >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.3

Leisure and sport >>>>>>> 4

Sleeping >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 8.8

Other >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.2

TOTAL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 24

To obtain the percentage of the average weekday the student used for educational activities, we simply divide the time for educational activities by the total time multiplied by 100 as shown below:

Percentage of educational activities = time for educational activities /total time × 100

Percentage of educational activities = 3.5/24 × 100

= 14.6%

Therefore, the percentage of the average weekday the student used for educational activities is 14.6%
