Respuesta :

David spends 100 minutes exercising everyday. We can make a proportion here, and it is very easy. 40%/100% = 40 minutes/ x minutes. Because the two sides have the sane numerator, they must also have the same denominator to be equal.

Answer:

David exercises 100 minutes each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

David uses the treadmill 40 minutes each day = 40% of his exercise time

2. How many minutes does David exercise each day?

Let's use the Direct Rule of Three to answer this question:

Minutes        Percentage

40                    40

 x                      100

***********************************

40 * x = 40 * 100

40x = 4,000

x = 4,000/40

x = 100

David exercises 100 minutes each day.
