Question

Jason spends 1/3 of each day sleeping.What is the total numbers of days that jason spend awake in 1 week?

Answer 1

Answer:

Given  the statement: Jason spends 1/3 of each day sleeping

Since, a day has 24 hours and

Jason spends each day $\frac{1}{3}\times 24 = 8 hours$ in sleeping .

Remaining Jason spend awake each day,  24 - 8 = 16 hours.

In 1 day  =  Jason spend 16 hours in awake

then;

in 1 week(i.e, 7 days) =   $16 \times 7 = 112 hours$ spend in awake.

To find the total number of days Jason spend awake in 1 week.

Divide 112 hours by 24 we get;

$\frac{112}{24} = \frac{14}{3} =4\frac{2}{3}$ days

therefore, $4\frac{2}{3}$ is the total number of day that Jason spend awake  in 1 week.
