D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
There are 60 minutes in one hour, so an 8-hour workday has (60)(8) = 480 minutes. To calculate 15% of 480, multiply 0.15 by 480: (0.15)(480) = 72. Therefore, Lani spent 72 minutes of her workday in meetings.Choice A is incorrect because 1.2 is 15% of 8, which gives the time Lani spent of her workday in meetings in hours, not minutes. Choices B and C are incorrect and may be the result of computation errors.
