The average daily sleep time for a domestic cat is 11.5 hours. What is this in hours and minutes? b) An African lion sleeps 20% more than the cat. What is the sleep time of the African lion?

mathematics PLEASE HELP

Part A

1 hour = 60 minutes

0.5 hours = 30 minutes (multiply both sides by 0.5)

11.5 hours = 11 hours + 0.5 hours

11.5 hours = 11 hours + 30 minutes

11.5 hours = 11 hours, 30 minutes is the answer

Part B

20% = 20/100 = 0.20

The lion sleeps 20% more than the cat, which means the lion sleeps 0.20*11.5 = 2.3 hours more

This leads to 11.5 + 2.3 = 13.8 hours being the total time the lion sleeps

1 hour = 60 minutes

0.8 hours = 48 minutes (multiply both sides by 0.8)

13.8 hours = 13 hours + 0.8 hours

13.8 hours = 13 hours + 48 minutes

13.8 hours = 13 hours, 48 minutes is the amount of time the lion sleeps
