Question

Reena spends $\frac{1}{3}$rd of the day sleeping, $\frac{1}{4}$th of the day in school and $\frac{1}{8}$th of the day doing homework. Find the remaining time Reena spent playing games and doing household activities.

• A. 8 hours
• B. 7 hours
• C. 5 hours
• D. 6 hours

Answer 1

The correct option is B 7 hours

Given:

Total hours in a day = 24

Hours spent in sleep = $\frac{1}{3}\times$ 24 = 8

Hours spent in school = $\frac{1}{4}\times$ 24 = 6

Hours spent in homework = $\frac{1}{8}\times$ 24 = 3

Remaining hours
= 24 – (8 + 6 + 3)
= 24 – 17
= 7
Hence, Reena has 7 hours for playing games and doing household activities.
