there are 24 hours in a day and scientists tell us that we should sleep for 3/8 of the day.How much time should we spend sleeping?
x/24 = 3/8
You have to get the same denominator.
So, multiply 3/8 by 3/3, and you would get 9/24. 9 is your answer.
To calculate the amount of time we should spend sleeping, we need to find 3/8 of 24 hours.
To do this, we can use the formula: Amount of time sleeping = (3/8) * 24.
First, let's convert 3/8 into a decimal form. We can do this by dividing 3 by 8: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375.
Next, multiply the decimal value we obtained by 24: 0.375 * 24 = 9.
Therefore, if scientists recommend that we should sleep for 3/8 of a day, we should spend approximately 9 hours sleeping.
