Answer 1

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert 7 hours to minutes:

1 hour = 60 minutes

7 hours = 60*7 minutes = 420 minutes

Now we find the percentage...

21=n%*420

21=n/100*420

21=21n/5

Multiply both sides by 5

105=21n

Divide boths sides by 21

n=5

5% of the 7 hours
