To determine how much time John spent on his activities, we can add up the hours he dedicated to each task.
1. Reschedule meetings:
- Time spent: [tex]\(0.5\)[/tex] hours
2. Submit vendor invoices:
- Time spent: [tex]\(1\)[/tex] hour
3. Respond to 4 customer issues:
- Time spent: [tex]\(2\)[/tex] hours
Adding these times together:
[tex]\[
0.5 \text{ hours} + 1 \text{ hour} + 2 \text{ hours} = 3.5 \text{ hours}
\][/tex]
Thus, the total time John spent on his activities is [tex]\(3.5\)[/tex] hours.
We do not have sufficient information to directly answer how effective it is for John to focus on his assigned work based on just the hours spent on each task; effectiveness would typically require additional context about the quality of work, the importance of tasks, or the impact on overall productivity. However, focusing on assigned work for [tex]\(3.5\)[/tex] hours demonstrates a commitment to completing designated responsibilities.
