\(5\ \text{hours}\)

Show Worked Solution
\(\text{Percentage watching YouTube videos}\) \(=\dfrac{8}{25} \times 100\)
  \(=32\text{%}\)

  

\(\text{Percentage on social media}=100-(48+32)=20\text{%}\)

\(\therefore\ \text{Amount of usage on social media}\) \(=20\text{%}\times 25\)
  \(=5\ \text{hours}\)
