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.
