Question

The mitotic phase of the human cell cycle takes approximately 1 hour. What percentage of the 24-hour cell cycle is the mitotic phase?

Answer 1

Divide the amount of time the mitotic phase takes by the # of hours in the cell cycle, multiply by 100% to get the answer.

`1/24*100%=4.17%`

Answer 2

It should be `~~4.167%`

Explanation:

Since the phase takes about `1` `"hour"`, and the cell cycle takes `24` `"hours"`, you divide `1` by `24`.

`1/24=0.041bar66`

Turn into a percent:

About `4.167%`
