Question

There are $24$hours in a day and scientists tell us that we should sleep for $\frac{3}{8}$of the day $.$how much time should we spend in sleeping $?$

Answer 1

Step 1: Write the given details

Number of hours in a a day$=$$24$

we should sleep for $\frac{3}{8}$of a day

Step 2: Find the number of Hours which $\frac{3}{8}$part of 24 hours

The time for which we need to sleep $=$$24$$\times$$\frac{3}{8}$

Multiply the numerators and put the answer over the denominator

$24$$\times$$\frac{3}{8}$$=$$\frac{24\times 3}{8}$$=$$\frac{72}{8}$$=$$9$

Hence$,$ we should sleep for $9$ hours$.$
