How do you calculate percentage of time taken for an activity?

For example:

I monitor the actions of an insect for 10 minutes and record its actions every 1 minute.



Min Action

1 still

2 still

3 running

4

.

.

.

.

etc.



How can I calculate the percentage time taken for each activity? Do I add the number of times each activity takes place and divide 1 by that number? Or do I need the total number of minutes? I'm confused.

You have to add the time for each activity and divide by the total time (and then by 100%).



6 minutes sleeping

10 minutes watching



6/10 = 60/100 = 60%How do you calculate percentage of time taken for an activity?
Add the total minutes far a particular action. Divide by the total time. Multiply by 100 to get percentage



t(activity) / t(total) * 100 = %(activity)
