how many hours of sleeps does your teacher get?

Answer provided by our tutors

we assume these number refer to one day in the life of the teacher and that a day is 24 hours


we start with 24 hours and then subtract out the activities described above, the remaining time is available for sleep:


24 - 24/3 - 24/9 - 24/6 - 2 - 5 = 2 1/3


1/3 * 60 = 20


the teacher gets 2 hours and 20 minutes of sleep
