Question

If you sleep 8 hours out of 24 hours, what percentage of the time do you sleep?

If you sleep 8 hours out of 24 hours, what percentage of the time do you sleep?

Answer 1

Finding what percentage one thing is of another is pretty simple.  Divide the first thing by the second and multiply by 100.

 

So in this case first you divide 8 by 24, and you get 1/3 or approximately .3333.

 

Then multiply by 100, and you get 100/3 or approximately 33.33

 

100/3 is the same as 33 1/3, so you can say 33 1/3 %, or 33.33 %

 

 

Answer 2

8/24 = 1/3

1/3 = 0.3333

0.3333 = 34%
