John who is an amateur golfer spends 3 hours every day practicing golf. What percentage of his waking hours does John spend practicing golf if he sleeps 9 hours a day?
24-9=15
3/15=
0.2%
Answer
I am unsure if the steps are right
Your steps are correct -- until you get to the end.
3/15 = 0.2
Multiply by 100 to find the percentage.
0.2 * 100 = 20%
The steps you provided are not correct. Let's go through the correct steps to find the percentage of John's waking hours spent practicing golf.
1. Calculate John's total waking hours per day by subtracting his sleeping hours from 24 hours:
Waking hours = 24 - 9 = 15 hours
2. Calculate the percentage of time John spends practicing golf by dividing the number of hours he practices golf by his total waking hours and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage:
Percentage = (3 hours / 15 hours) * 100
Now let's calculate the percentage step by step:
3 hours / 15 hours = 0.2
Multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
0.2 * 100 = 20%
Therefore, John spends 20% of his waking hours practicing golf.
