The drama club spent a total of 40 hours practicing for the school play. 10% of the time was spent doing dress rehearsals. How many hours did the drama club spend doing dress rehearsals

Respuesta :

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find 10% of 40 hours:

10%*40

Convert 10% to a fraction, as I find it makes the math simpler. To do this, we can simplify put 10 over 100 as any percentage is that number over 100:

[tex]\frac{10}{100}*40[/tex]

Simplify the fraction:

[tex]\frac{1}{10}*40=\frac{40}{10}=4[/tex]

They spent 4 hours doing dress rehearsals
