Question

Eric spends 45 minutes getting to work and 45 minutes returning

home. What percent of the day does Eric spend commuting?
plz help and if you know the awnser pleasee tell me how to get thereee

Answer 1

6.25% of the day is spent commuting

Explanation:

45+45=90 minutes

turn this into hour form because you want to make it easier to find out how much of a 24-hour day is spent commuting so 90 minutes = 1.5 hours

then you use 24 hours as the denominator since that is how many hours are in the day so 1.5/24=0.0625

to get this into a percentage, you multiply by 100 so 0.0625*100=6.25%

you can also solve this using solely minutes but converting to hours makes it easier in my opinion

Answer 2

6.25% of the day commuting

Explanation:

45+45=1 hour 30 minutes

1.5/24

0.0625

6.25%
