6hrs = school
9hrs = sleeps = 18hrs // 24hrs ----6hrs left
3hrs = plays

6hrs = other things


playing = 12.5% -- 3/24 3/24*100
other things = 25% -- 6/24 6/24*100

Answer:

Robin spends 12.5% of the day playing and 25% of the day doing things other than sleeping, playing, or going to school.

Explanation:

In a day, Robin spends his time :

At school = 6 hours

Sleeps = 9 hours

Plays = 3 hours

Total time spent = 6 + 9 + 3 = 18 hours

Time left = 24 - 18 = 6 hours

doing other things = 6 hours

Now we have to calculate what % of the day he is playing and doing other things.

He spends 3 hours in playing = 3 hours of 24 hours

= 3 ÷ 24 × 100 = 12.5%

He spends 6 hours in doing other things = 6 hours of 24 hours

= 6 ÷ 24 × 100 = 25%

Robin spends 12.5% of the day playing and 25% of the day doing things other than sleeping, playing, or going to school.
