in this question, we must first calculate how long Mozart was composing music for if he started at age four and ended when he died at age 35. That means he was composing and performing music for 31 years. 31 is considered the part in this example, and the whole is considered 35 seeing how that is the total number of years that Moose art was alive for, so we can find the percentage by taking the part 31 dividing it by the whole 35. This gives us a decimal of 0.886 We can make this decimal of percentage by multiplying by 100 0.886 times 100 gives US value of 88 0.6 percent. This is the percent of his life spent composing music.
