To determine the fraction of a day that you spend sleeping, we first need to understand how many hours there are in a full day. A standard day consists of 24 hours.
If you sleep for 8 hours each day, you can express this as a fraction of the total hours in a day:
Fraction of the day sleeping = (Hours slept) / (Total hours in a day)
Plugging in the numbers:
Fraction of the day sleeping = 8 hours / 24 hours
This fraction can be simplified:
Fraction of the day sleeping = 1/3
This means that if you sleep 8 hours a day, you are spending one-third of your day sleeping. So, in terms of your daily activities, about 33.33% of your time in a day is devoted to sleep!
