Question

A school runs for 6 hours per day, consisting of sessions of 45 minutes each. What will be the fraction of the duration of 1 session to the total duration of all the sessions?

• A. $\frac{1}{8}$
• B. $\frac{1}{9}$
• C. $\frac{1}{6}$
• D. $\frac{1}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{8}$

Fraction = $\frac{\text{Numerator}}{\text{Denominator}}$

Fraction = $\frac{\text{Duration of 1 class}}{\text{Total duration of classes}}$

Fraction = $\frac{\text{45 minutes}}{\text{6 hours}}$

Fraction = $\frac{\text{45 minutes}}{6\times 60\text{minutes}}$ = $\frac{45}{360}$ = $\frac{1}{8}$

$\therefore$ The fraction is $\frac{1}{8}$.
