Question

A certain radio station plays classical music during 20% of its airtime. If the station is on air 24 hours a day, how many hours each day is the station playing classical music?

Answer 1

4.8 hours

Explanation:

20% of 24 hours is the product of the decimal form of 20% (which is 0.2) times 24.

The answer is:

0.2 * 24 = 4.8 hours which is the same as 4 hours and 48 minutes.
