Hi

30 minutes watching TV and 3 hours practicing his typing on the computer.  

The time he spent watching TV was what percent 

of the time he spent working on the computer? 17%

3hr = 180min

30min%2F180min+=+1%2F6

  1/6 = .16667  

In percent form: 17%  to the nearest whole percent.

  Wish You the Best in your Studies.
