If a child sleeps 10 hours a day,

what fraction of the day has he slept

1 answer

The total hours in a day is 24 hours.

So, the child has slept for 10 hours out of 24 hours.

To find the fraction, you can write this as a ratio of the hours slept to the total hours in a day:

Fraction of the day slept = Hours slept / Total hours in a day

Fraction of the day slept = 10 hours / 24 hours

Fraction of the day slept = 5/12

Therefore, the child has slept for 5/12 of the day.
