Now, let's estimate the time spent watching TV. There are approximately 365 days in a year, so in 17 years there are 17 * 365 = 6205 days. Let's assume a child watches TV for 2 hours a day on average. That's 2 hours/day * 6205 days = 12410 hours.
We need to convert the school days into hours. Let's assume a school day is 6 hours long. Then 3060 days * 6 hours/day = 18360 school hours.
Now we compare the hours spent watching TV to the hours spent in school:
* Hours watching TV: 12410
* Hours in school: 18360
The difference is 12410 - 18360 = -5950 hours. This means the child spent significantly more time in school than watching TV, based on our assumptions. Therefore, the question of what percent MORE time was spent watching TV than in school is not applicable. The child spent LESS time watching TV.
To calculate the percentage difference, we could use:
(Hours watching TV - Hours in school) / Hours in school * 100% = (-5950 / 18360) * 100% = -32.4%
This means the child spent approximately 32.4% less time watching TV than in school.
Important Note: This calculation is based on many assumptions (average TV viewing time, school day length, etc.). The actual percentage would vary significantly depending on individual lifestyles.
