Question

a boy spends 6 hours in school what fraction of the day is he away from the school

Answer 1

=> 6 hours = Time in school

=> Time away from school = 24 - 6

=> 18 hours the boy is away from school.

=> Fraction = 18/24

=> Reduce them

=> 3/4

∴ The boy is away from school for 3/4 of a day

Answer 2

there are 24 hours in total so if he spends 6 hours in school then the fraction of time in which he is spending time is 6/24 which later becomes 1/4
