Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find 37% of 18, first convert 37% to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, \( 37\% = \frac{37}{100} = 0.37 \).

Step2: Multiply by total time

Now, multiply this decimal by the total time Steve takes to get to work (18 minutes). So, \( 18\times0.37 = 6.66 \).

Answer:

Steve spends 6.66 minutes stuck in traffic.
