Question

On average people spend 1/4 of the time they sleep in a dream state. If Maxwell slept 10 hours last night, how much time did he spend dreaming? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Hey there, Matthew!

So 1/4 turns to 0.25

Now multiply 0.25 x 10 = 2.5

So Maxwell spent 2.5 hours dreaming.

Hope I was able to help!

Answer 2

Maxwell dreamed a total of 2.5 hours, here's how I got my answer.

10 divided by 1/4 = 2.5
