The sum of 6 minutes, 35 seconds and 3 minutes, 20 seconds is approximately what percent of one hour?

A. 27%
B. 17%
C. 11%
D. 10%
E. 6%
Add minutes: (6+3) = 9 minutes
Add seconds: (30+25) = 55 seconds \(\approx{1}\) minute

(9 + 1) = 10 minutes
1 hour = 60 minutes

\(\frac{10}{60}=\frac{1}{6}*100 = (.167 * 100) = 16.7\) %

About 17%

Answer B
