Solution

To find out how many minutes have gone by, we need to calculate 29% of 72 minutes.

Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal. To do this, divide the percentage by 100. So, 29% becomes 0.29.

Step 2: Multiply the total time (72 minutes) by the decimal.

So, 0.29 * 72 = 20.88 minutes.

Rounding this to the nearest tenth, we get 20.9 minutes.

So, approximately 20.9 minutes have gone by.
