Answer:

We will get $24\%\ of\ \frac{500}{3} \ =40 \ minutes.$

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the question we have to evaluate the given data.

        Given data:- 4% of it is 40 minutes.

        To find:-Value of The whole quantity.

        Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.

• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.

        Therefore,

        $24\%\ of\ x\ =40 \ minutes\\\\=>\frac{24}{100} \times x=40\\\\=>\frac{24x}{100}=40\\\\=>24x=40\times100\\\\=>24x= 4000\\\\=>x=\frac{4000}{24}\\\\=>x=\frac{500}{3}$
