Decide whether the statement makes sense Explain your reason

Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning. The time I spend studying is a subset of the time I spend playing basketball. This is for Quantitative Reasoning class.

Solution

NO. For a set B to be a subset of A, we need to have discrete elements in A.

A is a singular time value. For example, you can spend 2 hrs playing basketball and 1 hr studying. This doesn\'t mean 1 is a subset of 2.

The correct terminology is fraction of time!
