1. Calculating the time spent on Math:

Total time spent per day = 16 hours

Percentage of time spent on Math (from the "Hardwork in time" pie chart) = 40%

Time spent on Math = 40 % × 16  hours

Time spent on Math = 40 100 × 16 = 0.4 × 16 = 6.4  hours


2. Calculating the marks obtained in Math:

Total marks obtained out of 500 = 400 marks

Percentage of marks obtained in Math (from the "Marks obtained" pie chart) = 21%

Marks obtained in Math = 21 % × 400

Marks obtained in Math = 21 100 × 400 = 21 × 4 = 84  marks


Thus, the student spent 6.4 hrs on Math and obtained 84 marks in Math.
