To find out how many hours per day altogether were spent on watching TV and homework, we add the percentages for those two activities together: 8% (homework) + 13% (watching TV) = 21%

Since there are 24 hours in a day, we can calculate the total number of hours spent on watching TV and homework by multiplying 24 by 21%:

24 hours x 21% = 24 hours x 0.21 = 5.04 hours

Therefore, about 5 hours altogether were spent on watching TV and homework.
