Question

The “Get Up” challenge set to Ciara’s song is a dance that takes about 15 seconds to perform. What percent of the full 4-minute-and-23-second song does the dance represent?

Answer 1

5.70%

Explanation:

It takes the time to perform on Ciara's song = 15 seconds

Total time given as 4 minutes 23 seconds ≈ (4×60) seconds + 23 seconds

= 240 seconds + 23 seconds

= 263 seconds

Percent of time taken to perform of the full time =
`\frac{\text{time taken to perform}}{\text{Total time}}* 100`

=
`(15)/(263)* 100`

= 5.70 %

Therefore, percent of the time taken for the performance on the full song will be 5.70%
