Question

The music for Jordyn’s dance routine lasts for exactly 4 minutes.  When Jordyn dances her routine, she starts with her music and finishes 12 seconds before the music ends.  What percent of the time the music is playing is Jordyn dancing?

Answer 1

95%

4 minutes is 4×(60 seconds) = 240 seconds.
