Nelly spends 25% of her free time surfing the Internet. If she spends approximately 1 hour per day surfing the Internet, how many hours of free time does she have each day?
0.25
.25 t = 1
t = 1 / .25
To determine how many hours of free time Nelly has each day, you need to calculate the total free time before she spends 25% of it surfing the Internet.
Let X represent the total free time Nelly has each day.
Since she spends 25% of her free time surfing the Internet, she has 100% - 25% = 75% of her free time remaining for other activities.
Since 75% is equal to 0.75 as a decimal, you can write the equation: 0.75 * X = 1.
To find X, divide both sides of the equation by 0.75:
0.75 * X / 0.75 = 1 / 0.75
X = 1.33
Therefore, Nelly has approximately 1.33 hours of free time each day after spending 25% of it surfing the Internet.
