Question

What fraction of a day is $4$ hrs?

Answer 1

Represent hours into a fraction of a day:

Since,

$1\mathrm{day}=24\mathrm{hours}$

It means that,

$$\begin{gathered} 1\mathrm{hour}=\frac{1}{24}\mathrm{th}\mathrm{part}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{day} \\ \therefore 4\mathrm{hours}=4\times \frac{1}{24} \\ \Rightarrow =\frac{1}{6}\mathrm{th}\mathrm{part}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{day} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $4\mathrm{hrs}.$ is a $\frac{1}{6}$ fraction of a day.
