Question

John spent about 12.5 hours at a water park. He estimated he spent about 30% of the time waiting in line. What would be a reasonable amount of time he spent in line?

Answer 1

Given:

Total time spent in water park = 12.5 hours

He spent about 30% of the time waiting in line.

To find:

The reasonable amount of time he spent in line.

Solution:

According to the question,

Amount of time he spent in line = 30% of total time

`=(30)/(100)* 12.5`

`=0.3* 12.5`

`=3.75`

Therefore, the reasonable amount of time he spent in line is 3.75 hours.
