16.7%
You are correct.
To find the percentage of Emily's day that was spent studying, we need to determine the total number of hours in her day and then calculate the percentage of that total represented by the time she spent studying.
First, let's add up all the hours she spent on different activities:
8 hours sleeping +
1 hour in the shower +
6 hours in class +
2 hours eating and snacking +
4 hours studying +
3 hours watching TV
8 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 4 + 3 = 24
Therefore, Emily's total day consists of 24 hours.
To find the percentage of time spent studying, divide the number of hours she spent studying (4 hours) by the total number of hours in her day (24 hours), and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
(4 hours / 24 hours) * 100 = 16.67%
Therefore, Emily spent approximately 16.67% of her day studying.
