Hmm, I'll assume this is a statistics question, and a peigraph question to answer this.

First off, you might know this, but a percent is a fraction with a 100 as the denominator (bottom number). So 25% would equal 25/100 or 1/4, and that answers the fraction of the day spent at school.

1/4 of the day, which is 24 hours, is 6 hours, which is much less than the time I spent in school :) (not discounting extracurricular activities).

18% = 18/100 = 9/50. Hence, in a piegraph - or a piechart - to find the angle, we should find the percentage of 360, since that is the number of degrees in a circle (or a pie). So 18% of 360 degrees = 9/50*360 = 64.8 degrees. Jobs would occupy 64.8 degrees (approximately 65 degrees) on the piegraph.

Sleep is 33%. That comes out to be 33/100, which is 0.33. If you try out all the fractions:

1/2 = 0.5
3/4 = 0.75
1/3 = 0.333.. recurring
1/4 = 0.25

The fraction that closely fits your requirement is 1/3. So 1/3 of the day is spent sleeping (which is much more than how much I sleep :s).

18% = 9/50 which is the lowest fraction you can get. Looking at your options, however, I would stick with a 1/4 (0.25) since that's the closest to 9/50 (0.18).

For your info, 2/11 is 0.181818... That could have been a choice as well.
