Claire is scheduling her day. She has four hours to clean and two hours to cook, then divides the rest of her working day equally between crafting and tailoring. She then sleeps eight hours. If all of this takes place within one day, how many hours did Claire spend crafting? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
We know Claire has spent a total of 24 hours in a day - 4 hours cleaning - 2 hours cooking - 8 hours sleeping = 10 hours crafting and tailoring. Since she split her time equally, she must have spent 10 hours * 0.5 = 5 hours crafting. So, the answer is 5.
