To find out how many hours Gavin spent mowing the grass, you can use the percentage given (30%) and the total hours he spent on outdoor chores (45 hours).

Here's how to calculate it:

  1. Convert the percentage into a decimal: 30% = 30/100 = 0.30

  2. Multiply the total hours by the decimal: Hours spent mowing the grass = 45 hours × 0.30 = 13.5 hours

So, Gavin spent 13.5 hours mowing the grass.
