You will be assessed on the quality of your organisation, communication and accuracy in writing, A task takes 6 hours 15 minutes to complete. of this time is spent on planning, How long was spent on the rest of the task? Give your answer in hours and?

I think you have missed some vital information in your wording. A percentage or fraction before “of this time” perhaps. And I assume the answer is to be given in hours....and minutes. Based on this, and due to the fact that 6hrs and 15 minutes is 25 lots of 15 minutes, it should be a simple calculation. For example, let us assume 20% was the planning time. This gives 1 hour 15 minutes of planning and 5 hours for the rest of the task. If 40% was the planning time, then you would end up with 2 hours 30 minutes of planning time with 3 hours 45 minutes remaining for the rest of the task. Alternatively, if the numbers are not so easy to work with, just divide the total minutes (375) by 100 to give 1% and then multiply by the percentage required and convert the answer into hours and minutes. Hope this helps.

A tutor that understands you

Hi, I'm Rachel! I am currently studying Biology as an undergraduate at University College London and have gained a lot of experience tutoring in the subject over the past couple of years. I love the depth and breadth that Biology offers and I would love to share my passion for the subject with others. I believe in tailoring my education to each individual student, as everyone learns slightly differently so it makes sense to have a lesson that is specifically designed for them. I take time in planning my lessons and work with each student to find the harder topics that need a bit more attention. I am more than happy to answer any questions you have!

Maths tutor with over 150+ hours of experience

I believe learning is about understanding your students and tailoring the lesson to their needs. 1) I first need to understand exactly what areas my students are struggling with and then I design a list of topics to help improve those areas. 2) In my lessons, I always start with a list of starter questions to help get my students thinking, some of those questions relate to the topic and the previous lesson so that would give me a better understanding of how best to approach teaching them the topic. 3) While teaching, I always engage the student and ask them questions to get them thinking. 4) After teaching the topic, we will go through a set of questions. These questions are important as they help me understand how the student thinks about the problem. We will then discuss how they came to their solution enabling me to understand any mistakes they may be making.
