Question

If a phone charges 3% every five minutes then how long will it take for the phone to charge 100%

Answer 1

$5/3=1.67$
First you find how long it takes to get 1%

$1.67*100=167$
Then you times it by 100. So it takes 167 minutes to charge.

$167/60=2.7$
Then convert it to hours by deviding by 60.

It takes 2.7 hours or 167 minutes

Answer 2

To find out how long it will take a phone to charge 100% if it charges 3% every 5 minutes, you have to put it in a fraction.

3/5

3 is the percent charged and 5 is the time.

You have to find out what 100 divided by 3 is. The answer is 33.3.

So,

3/5 times 33.3 is equal to 99.9/166.5.

It will take 166.5 minutes for the phone to charge to about 100%.
