To determine what fraction of a day 4 hours represents, we start by understanding that a full day consists of 24 hours.
Next, we set up the fraction:
Fraction of a day = (Number of hours)/(Total hours in a day)
This leads us to:
Fraction of a day = 4 hours / 24 hours
Now, we can simplify the fraction. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 4 gives:
Fraction of a day = 1 / 6
Therefore, 4 hours is 1/6 of a day.
