Question

Joe spends 18.75% of his working day washing cars. He spends 1.5 hours washing cars. How many total hours does he work per day?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe spends 18.75% of his working day washing cars.

Joe spends 1.5 hours washing car.

Therefore 18.75% is equal to 1.5 hour.

18.75% = 1.5 hour

1% = 1.5 ÷ 18.75 = 0.08 hour

100% = 0.08 x 100 = 8 hours
