Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

What we must do is calculate the fraction of the hours of sleep with respect to the hours of a day.

We know that a day has 24 hours.

Now:

12 hours of sleep for the every 24 hours in a day, it would be:

12/24

Simplify to get 1/2

We know that 1/2 is equal to 0.5 or what is the same as he spends 50% of the time asleep.
