Steve spends 1/3 of the day sleeping, 1/6 of the day in school, 1/12 of the day making assignments, and the rest of the day with his family. How many hours does Steve spend with his family in a day?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
User
Steve spends 24 / 3 = 8 hours sleeping. He spends 24 / 6 = 4 hours in school. He spends 24 / 12 = 2 hours making assignments. He spends 8 + 4 + 2 = 14 hours either sleeping, going to school, or making assignments. Hence, Steve spends 24 - 14 = 10 hours with his family.
Thus, the answer is 10.
