Answer:
1 day = 24 hours
Divide each of the "number of hours spent sleeping" by the total number of hours in a day (24). Then divide the numerator and denominator by the highes common factor to reduce the fraction to its simplest equivalent.
[tex]\sf Cat=\dfrac{12}{24}=\dfrac{12 \div 12}{24 \div 12}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\sf Cow=\dfrac{4}{24}=\dfrac{4 \div 4}{24 \div 4}=\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
[tex]\sf Squirrel=\dfrac{15}{24}=\dfrac{15 \div 3}{24 \div 3}=\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\sf Tiger=\dfrac{16}{24}=\dfrac{16 \div 8}{24 \div 8}=\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
