Olivia spends 5 hours a day at school and sleeps for 9 hours a day. What fraction of the day does she have left for other activities? Write your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
Add up existing hours for school and sleep
School + sleep = 5 + 9 = 14 hours
Since there are 24 hours in a day, she has 24 - 14 = 10 hours remaining.
The fraction we want is 10/24. But we can simplify this. Using our simplify fractions calculator, we get:
