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.
add 9 + 3 =12 there are 24 hours in a day so 24 - 12 =12 answer 12
wrong,,,24-9hr= 15hr...?% =3hr out of 15
To determine the percentage of John's waking hours spent practicing golf, we first need to calculate his total waking hours.
John sleeps for 9 hours a day, so he spends the remaining 24 - 9 = 15 hours awake.
Next, we calculate the percentage of his waking hours dedicated to practicing golf by dividing the time he spends practicing by his total waking hours and multiplying by 100:
(3 hours / 15 hours) * 100 = 20%
Therefore, John spends 20% of his waking hours practicing golf.
