A manager spent 5 hours of his day in meetings. If he said that he spent 70% of his day, how many total hours did he work?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The total hours the manager worked

= 7.14 hours

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Time spent by a manager in meetings per day = 5 hours

Percentage of time spent in meetings = 70%

Total hours the manager worked per day = 5/70% = 7.14 hours

b) The total hours that the manager worked per day = 7.14 hours or 7 hours 9 minutes (approximately).  This is obtained by dividing the hours spent in meetings by the equivalent proportion that meetings consumed per day.
