Use the circle graph to determine how many hours per day Becky spends on each activity.
School=25%
Eating=10%
Sleep=40%
Homework=10%
Freetime=15%
I think my answer would be
25/100=x/1
4 hours
Can you please check my answer,Please help me I am a little lost.
To determine how many hours per day Becky spends on each activity, we need to calculate the percentage of time for each activity based on the given information.
Let's assume that Becky spends X hours per day on all activities combined.
To determine the number of hours per day for each activity, we multiply the percentage by X:
- School: 25% of X hours
- Eating: 10% of X hours
- Sleep: 40% of X hours
- Homework: 10% of X hours
- Freetime: 15% of X hours
To verify your answer for the School activity:
25% of X hours = (25/100) * X = 0.25X
However, we cannot determine the exact value of X or the number of hours spent on each activity without knowing the total number of hours Becky spends in a day.
To determine how many hours per day Becky spends on each activity, you need to calculate the corresponding fractions based on the percentages provided.
First, convert the percentages into fractions by dividing by 100:
- School: 25% = 25/100 = 0.25
- Eating: 10% = 10/100 = 0.10
- Sleep: 40% = 40/100 = 0.40
- Homework: 10% = 10/100 = 0.10
- Freetime: 15% = 15/100 = 0.15
Next, multiply each fraction by the total number of hours in a day (24 hours) to find the hours spent on each activity:
- School: 0.25 * 24 = 6 hours
- Eating: 0.10 * 24 = 2.4 hours (since you can't have a fraction of an hour, it's typically rounded to the nearest whole number, which in this case would be 2 hours)
- Sleep: 0.40 * 24 = 9.6 hours (rounded to 10 hours)
- Homework: 0.10 * 24 = 2.4 hours (rounded to 2 hours)
- Freetime: 0.15 * 24 = 3.6 hours (rounded to 4 hours)
Therefore, Becky spends:
- 6 hours on School
- 2 hours on Eating
- 10 hours on Sleep
- 2 hours on Homework
- 4 hours on Freetime
So, your previous answer of 4 hours for School (25%) is incorrect. Becky actually spends 6 hours on School.
Hello Judith,
I already figured out the answers.
Thank you
