Answer 1

Answer: (D) Amber spends time sleeping than she does at school.

Explanation:

Given that :

• Amber spends 3/16 of each day doing homework.

• Amber spends 0.25 of each day at school.

• Amber spends 1/3 of each day sleeping.

Hence,

Amber spends 0.1875 of a day doing homework, which is (0.1875 * 24) = 4.5 hours

0.25 of each day at school ; (0.25 * 24) = 6 hours

1/3 of each day sleeping ; (1/3 * 24) = 8 hours

Time spent sleeping = 8 hours

Time spent in school = 6 hours
