Question

What fraction of a day is 8 hours?

Answer 1

We know ,

As \(1\) day = \(24\) hours

\(1\) hour = \(\frac1{24}\) of a day

So, \(8\) hours = \(\bigg(\frac1{24}\bigg) × 8\)

\(8\) hours = \(\frac8{24}\) of a day 

= \(\frac13\) of a day

Therefore, \(8\) hours is \(\frac13\) \(^{rd}\) of a day.
