Question

What fraction of a day is $8$ hours?

Answer 1

Solve for the required fraction:

We know that $1$day has $24$ hours

$\Rightarrow$ $24$ hours$=1$ day

$\Rightarrow$ $1$ hour $=\frac{1}{24}$ day

$\Rightarrow$ $8$ hours$=8\times \frac{1}{24}$ day

$\Rightarrow$ $8$ hours$=\frac{1}{3}$ day

Hence, $8$ hours is ${\frac{1}{3}}^{rd}$ of a day.
