Answer:
Samuel slept for 1/4 of the distance.
Step-by-step explanation:
The information provided are:
- Samuel fell asleep halfway home.
- He didn't wake up until he still had half as far to go as he had already
- gone while asleep.
Consider that the total distance covered was 1.
Then from the first point we know that Samuel fell asleep after covering a distance of 1/2.
It is provided that he woke up only after covering half of the remaining distance.
That is, he slept for 1/4 of the remaining distance.
Thus, Samuel was asleep for 1/4th of the entire trip home.
