Lani spent 15% of her 8-hour workday in meetings. How many minutes of her workday did she spend in meetings?
A
1.2
B
15
C
48
D
72
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Choice D is correct. There are 60 minutes in one hour, so an 8-hour workday has minutes. To calculate 15% of 480, multiply 0.15 by 480: . Therefore, Lani spent 72 minutes of her workday in meetings.
Choice A is incorrect because 1.2 is 15% of 8, which gives the time Lani spent of her workday in meetings in hours, not minutes. Choices B and C are incorrect and may be the result of computation errors.
