Answer 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Total time spent on work, drive cook and sleep
--------------------------------------------------------------------

$8 \frac{2}{4} + 1 \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4} + 7 \frac{2}{4}$

$= 16 \frac{8}{4}$

$= 18$

------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate Free Time
 ------------------------------------------------------------------
24 - 18 = 6

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 6 hours of free time
