To determine what fraction of a day is represented by 8 hours, we start by understanding that a full day consists of 24 hours.
To find the fraction, we can set up the following equation:
Fraction of a day = Hours worked / Total hours in a day
Substituting the values:
Fraction of a day = 8 hours / 24 hours
Now, we can simplify that fraction:
Fraction of a day = 1/3
This simplification shows that 8 hours is one-third of a full day.
In conclusion, 8 hours is 1/3 of a day.
