*The total average (inc. simultaneous activity) is calculated by summing together the duration (B2) for each activity, dividing by the weighted base of respondents, and then by 7 days.

The actual average net time spent (equivalent to solus) is then deducted in order to gauge simultaneous activity time. i.e. time spent doing more than one activity at the same time.
