doug has been wondering where 24 hours in a day goes. on Monday he 1/3 of the day sleeping, 1/4 of the day in school, and 1/8 of the day at soccer practice. how much time was left for other activities?

Answer 1

To find out how much time was left for other activities, we need to subtract the time Doug spent sleeping, at school, and at soccer practice from 24 hours.

Sleeping: 1/3 of 24 hours = (1/3) * 24 = 8 hours
School: 1/4 of 24 hours = (1/4) * 24 = 6 hours
Soccer practice: 1/8 of 24 hours = (1/8) * 24 = 3 hours

Total time spent on these activities = 8 hours + 6 hours + 3 hours = <<8+6+3=17>>17 hours

Therefore, the amount of time Doug had left for other activities is 24 hours - 17 hours = <<24-17=7>>7 hours. Answer: \boxed{7}.
