Answer 1

Given that time of Owl monkeys sleep during the day walking about 15 minutes after sundown.

Then at midnight they rest for an hour or two then continue to feed until sunrise.


Notice that above description doesn't say that they sleep in after sundown. They either eat or rest.


Day time is usually considered from 6am to 6 pm which is total 12 hours.

As per given information, owl monkey sleeps in that period.


Given that owl monkeys live for 27 years.

So the time for sleeping in their lifetime = 12 hours * 27 years

= (12/24 days) * 27 years

= (1/2 days) * 27 years

= (1/2 days) * (27*365 days)

= (1/2 days) * (9855 days)

= 4927.5 days

Hence final answer is 4927.5 days.
