Question

Please if anyone could answer this question. Me and my friends tried but only got headache at last. Kinda stuck in this question now.

Answer 1

He slept 1/3 of the day, and is awake 2/3 of the day (note that 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 = 1)

2/3 of 5/8 = (2/3)*(5/8) = (2*5)/(3*8) = 10/24 = 5/12 of the day is spent at home when he is awake

Add 1/3 and 5/12 to get

1/3 + 5/12 = 4/12 + 5/12 = (4+5)/12 = 9/12 = 3/4

He spent 3/4 of a whole day at home (equivalent to 18 hours)

Answer: 3/4

Answer 2

3/4 of the whole day(24 hours)

Explanation:

1/3 of 24 hours equal to 8 hours. He slept for 8 hours. So his waking time equals 24-8=16

5/8 of his waking time (16 hours ) equal to 10 hours.

now total time spent in his house 10 + 8 = 18

in fraction 18/24 = 3/4
