Question

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 14 , find the total number of hours she spends reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year with a reasonable level of accuracy.

Answer 1

Answer:

She spends:

2980.83 hours reading in a year,

3406.67 hours listening to music in a year,

and 3650 hours listening to podcasts in a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's multiply each activity she does by 14 and take it to a year:

-Reading

$R = 14*35 \frac{min}{d} = 490 \frac{min}{d}*\frac{365 d}{1 y}*\frac{1 h}{60 min} = 2980.83 \frac{h}{y}$

She spends 2980.83 hours reading in a year.

-Listenign to music:

$M = 14*40 \frac{min}{d} = 560 \frac{min}{d}*\frac{365 d}{1 y}*\frac{1 h}{60 min} = 3406.67 \frac{h}{y}$  

She spends 3406.67 hours listening to music in a year.

-Listenign to podcasts:

$P = 14*1.25*4 \frac{h}{w} = 70 \frac{h}{w}*\frac{1 w}{7 d}*\frac{365 d}{1 y} = 3650 \frac{h}{y}$

She spends 3650 hours listening to podcasts in a year.

I hope it helps you!
