My Saturday By Kimberly Valerio Pre-Algebra June 2, 2014

Introduction  On Saturday I usually have 15 hours to do things. I get up at 8 AM and go to bed around midnight. Some activities I engage in other than meals, are Internet surfing, cleaning, shopping, exercising, and hanging out. A large part of my day goes to cleaning.

Meals  I usually spend about 3/15 or 1/5 of my day on breakfast, lunch, and dinner (some snacks).  That’s 20% of my day!

Surfing the Net  While I’m having my coffee on Saturday morning, I surf the web for 1 hour.  That’s 1/15 or 7% of my day.  Below are my web activities:  Facebook  Check  Yahoo messaging

House Cleaning  After coffee and net surfing, I start cleaning house. This lasts about 4 hours.  That’s 4/15 or 27% of my Saturday!

Shopping  After I slave cleaning the house, I’m off to Wal-Mart to shop for groceries and other things we need.  That’s 3/15 (1/5) or 20% of my Saturday is shopping.

Exercise  I try to get about an hour on Saturday working out.  I either do this by hiking, Total Gym, or pool  That’s 1/15 or 7% of my day goes to working out.

Recreation  After exercise, I usually grill out then do something for fun.  I either go to the movies, play board games, karaoke, ride 4 wheelers for about 3 hours.  That’s 3/15 (1/5) or 20% of Saturday spent on recreation.

Conclusion  As I thought about my Saturday, I realize I spend a lot of time cleaning and shopping for things my family needs. Almost 50% of my day is spent doing these things. I do try to enjoy my meals, exercise, and make time for recreation.
