George was asleep for 33.3% of the journey.

When George went to sleep, he was halfway through to his grandmother's house which means that he was left with 1/2 of the journey.

When he woke up, he was still left with half of the distance he had slept. If we made this an expression and assume the percentage of the journey he slept was x, it would be:

1/2 of the journey = 1/2x + x

1/2 = 1.5x

x = 1/2 ÷ 1.5

x = 33.3%

George therefore fell asleep for 33% of the journey.
