To find the total number of hours Prisha spends reading and listening to music and podcasts each day, we add the time for each activity: 35 minutes (reading) + 40 minutes (music) + 1.25 hours * 4 (podcasts) = 35 + 40 + (1.25 * 4) = 35 + 40 + 5 = 80 minutes.
To find the total number of hours Prisha spends reading and listening to music and podcasts each year, we multiply the daily total by the number of days in a year: 80 minutes/day * 365 days/year = 29,200 minutes/year.
To convert this to hours, we divide by 60: 29,200 minutes/year / 60 minutes/hour = 486.67 hours/year.
To find 1/4 of this total, we divide by 4: 486.67 hours/year / 4 = 121.6675 hours/year.
Therefore, Prisha spends approximately 121.6675 hours per year reading and listening to music and podcasts.
Prisha spends about 35 minutes reading each day. She also listens to music for an average of 40 minutes per day,
and she listens to podcasts for 1.25 hours four times a week. If Prisha decides to increase the time she does each activity by find the 1/4
total number of hours she spends reading and listening to music and podcasts in a year with a reasonable level of accuracy.
