Answer

Final Answer: It will take approximately \(\boxed{1.48}\) hours for the phone to be fully charged.

Steps

Step 1 :We know that the charger can fully charge the phone in 2 hours. This means that it charges the phone at a rate of \(100 \%\) per 2 hours, or \(50 \%\) per hour.

Step 2 :If the phone is currently at \(26 \%\), it needs to be charged an additional \(100 \% - 26 \% = 74 \%\).

Step 3 :We can find the time it takes to charge this amount by dividing the amount to be charged by the rate of charging.

Step 4 :\(\frac{74}{50} = 1.48\)

Step 5 :Final Answer: It will take approximately \(\boxed{1.48}\) hours for the phone to be fully charged.
