Question

Xavier estimates that 35% of the time he spends on homework in his math homework. If he spends about 600 minutes on his homework per week, How many minutes does he spend on subjects other than math?​

Answer 1

390 Mins

Explanation:

If we take a look here, we currently have 600 total mins, and we are trying to find the total time that he spends on OTHER homework besides math

we know that he spends 35% of his time on math, so let's take the difference to find the percentage of time spent on other assignments

100%-35% = .65

Now that we know the percentage of time he spends on other work, we find the amount of time he spends on those other assignments by multiplying the total by the percentage

600*.65 = 390 mins
