A radio station spends ⅟40 of each 24 hours on public service announcements. How much time is spent on public service announcements each day?

Question

Please help me with this word problem.

Answer 1

A day has 24 hours, so time spent on public service announcements is 1/40 of 24 hours or 24/40 = 0.6 hours

to convert that to minutes:

0.6 hours x 60 minutes = 36 minutes

---------------

1 hour
