The storm was a category 4 hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas, on September 8, 1900, bringing winds of 130 miles (210 km) per hour and high tides that overwhelmed the low-lying coastal city, demolishing buildings and claiming more than 8,000 lives.
In this question, one has to carefully understand that the total
number of hours in the day can never be more that 24 hours. based on
this important fact the answer to the question can be very easily
deduced. The only requirement is calculating perfectly. Number of hours in a day = 24 hours Percentage of hours of sleep in a day = 33% Amount of sleep in the day = (33/100) * 24 = 7.92 hours So 33% of sleep in a day is equal to 7.92 hours. I hope this answer has helped you. In future you can keep the procedure in mind for solving such problems.
