Prisha spends about 35 minutes reading each day. She also listens to music for an average of 40 minutes per day,
and she listens to podcasts for 1.25 hours four times a week. If Prisha decides to increase the time she does each activity by find the 1/4
total number of hours she spends reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year with a reasonable level of accuracy.
To find the total number of hours Prisha spends reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year, we need to calculate the time spent on each activity and then multiply by the number of days or weeks in a year.
Total time Prisha spends reading in a day = 35 minutes
Total time Prisha spends listening to music in a day = 40 minutes
Total time Prisha spends listening to podcasts four times a week = 1.25 hours
To find the total time Prisha spends reading in a year, we multiply the daily time by the number of days in a year:
Total time Prisha spends reading in a year = 35 minutes/day * 365 days/year = 12,775 minutes/year
To find the total time Prisha spends listening to music in a year, we multiply the daily time by the number of days in a year:
Total time Prisha spends listening to music in a year = 40 minutes/day * 365 days/year = 14,600 minutes/year
To find the total time Prisha spends listening to podcasts in a year, we multiply the weekly time by the number of weeks in a year:
Total time Prisha spends listening to podcasts in a year = 1.25 hours/week * 4 weeks/month * 12 months/year = 60 hours/year
Now, we can calculate the total time Prisha spends reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year:
Total time Prisha spends reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year = Total time reading in a year + Total time listening to music in a year + Total time listening to podcasts in a year
= 12,775 minutes/year + 14,600 minutes/year + 60 hours/year
Since we want the result in hours, we need to convert the minutes to hours:
Total time Prisha spends reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year = (12,775 minutes/year + 14,600 minutes/year + 60 hours/year) / 60
= (12,775 + 14,600) / 60
= 27,375 / 60
= 456.25 hours/year
Therefore, Prisha spends approximately 456.25 hours reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year.
To find the total number of hours Prisha spends reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year, we first need to calculate the total time she spends on each activity daily.
Reading: Prisha spends 35 minutes reading each day, which is equal to 35/60 = 0.5833 hours.
Listening to Music: Prisha spends 40 minutes listening to music each day, which is equal to 40/60 = 0.6667 hours.
Listening to Podcasts: Prisha listens to podcasts for 1.25 hours four times a week. So, in a week, she spends 1.25 * 4 = 5 hours listening to podcasts.
In a year, the total number of weeks is 52. Hence, 5 * 52 = 260 hours spent listening to podcasts in a year.
Now, we can find the total number of hours spent by summing up the time spent on reading, music, and podcasts.
Total Time in a Year = (Reading + Music) + Podcasts
Total Time in a Year = (0.5833 + 0.6667) + 260
To find the 1/4 total number of hours she spends reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year, we divide the sum by 4.
1/4 Total Time in a Year = (Total Time in a Year) / 4
1/4 Total Time in a Year = ((0.5833 + 0.6667) + 260) / 4
Now, let's calculate the result.
1/4 Total Time in a Year = (0.5833 + 0.6667 + 260) / 4
1/4 Total Time in a Year ≈ 65.4417
Therefore, Prisha spends approximately 65.4417 hours reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year, rounded to a reasonable level of accuracy.
To find the total number of hours Prisha spends reading and listening to music and podcasts each day, we add the time for each activity: 35 minutes (reading) + 40 minutes (music) + 1.25 hours * 4 (podcasts) = 35 + 40 + (1.25 * 4) = 35 + 40 + 5 = 80 minutes.
To find the total number of hours Prisha spends reading and listening to music and podcasts each year, we multiply the daily total by the number of days in a year: 80 minutes/day * 365 days/year = 29,200 minutes/year.
To convert this to hours, we divide by 60: 29,200 minutes/year / 60 minutes/hour = 486.67 hours/year.
To find 1/4 of this total, we divide by 4: 486.67 hours/year / 4 = 121.6675 hours/year.
Therefore, Prisha spends approximately 121.6675 hours per year reading and listening to music and podcasts.
