7. nixon estimates it will take him 5 hours to finish an art project. it actually takes him 320% of the time estimated. how many hours did it take him to finish the project?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. So, (320%=\frac{320}{100} = 3.2)

Step2: Calculate actual time

Multiply the estimated time by the decimal - equivalent of the percentage. The estimated time is 5 hours. So, the actual time (t=5\times3.2) [t = 16]

Answer:

16 hours
