Question

help me please complete the table at the right by writing the fraction of the day each animal sleeps and an equivalent fraction remember there are 24 hours in a day​

Answer 1

1 day = 24 hours

Divide each of the "number of hours spent sleeping" by the total number of hours in a day (24). Then divide the numerator and denominator by the highes common factor to reduce the fraction to its simplest equivalent.

`\sf Cat=(12)/(24)=(12 / 12)/(24 / 12)=(1)/(2)`

`\sf Cow=(4)/(24)=(4 / 4)/(24 / 4)=(1)/(6)`

`\sf Squirrel=(15)/(24)=(15 / 3)/(24 / 3)=(5)/(8)`

`\sf Tiger=(16)/(24)=(16 / 8)/(24 / 8)=(2)/(3)`
