Question

A cat spends 2/3 of its life asleep. If a cat lives to be 15 years old, how many years di it spend asleep?

Answer 1

10 years

Explanation:

You start by writing an equation:

(2/3) * (15) = x

x being how many years it has been asleep.

Then multiply the two numbers together:

x = 10

Answer 2

10 years

Explanation:

Divide the cats life by the denominator to find how much it sleeps for 1/3 of its life.

15 3 = 5 years

Multiply 5 by the numerator to find how much it sleeps for 2/3 of its life.

5 * 2 = 10 years

Best of Luck!
