John who is an amateur golfer spends 3 hrs a day practicing golf. What percentage of his waking hours does John spend practing golf if he sleeps 9 hours a day.
PLEASE SHOW WORK.
24 - 9 = 15
3/15 = ?
To find the percentage of John's waking hours that he spends practicing golf, we first need to calculate his total waking hours.
John sleeps for 9 hours a day, so he is awake for 24 - 9 = 15 hours.
Next, we need to find what percentage of his waking hours he spends practicing golf. To do this, we divide the time he spends practicing golf by his total waking hours and then multiply by 100.
John spends 3 hours a day practicing golf.
Percentage of waking hours spent practicing golf = (3 hours / 15 hours) * 100%
Simplifying the equation:
(3/15) * 100% = 20%
Therefore, John spends 20% of his waking hours practicing golf.
