Tim spends about 1/3 of each weekday sleeping and about 7/24 of each weekday in school. what fraction of tim spends about 1/3 of each weekday sleeping and about 7/24 of each weekday in school. what fraction of weekday does tim spend either sleeping or in school? weekday does tim spend either sleeping or in school? is this more or less than 1/2 a day? how much more or less?

We can easily see that he spends 7 hours in school (because 7/24 is as much as 7 hours in 24 hours day). Now we schould find out how many hours is 1/3 of the day, so we have to simplify both fractions:

1/3 = 8/24

Now we add sleep and school times to find out if it's more or less than half a day:

8/24 + 7/24 = 15/24

Tim spends more than half a day sleeping and in school:

15/24 > 12/24

To find the difference we may just substract:

15/24 - 12/24 = 3/24
3/24 = 1/8

Tim spends 1/8 more than half a day in school or sleeping.
