Question

a work shift for an employee at a restaurant consists of 12 hours. what fraction of the employee's work shift is represented by 2 hours?

Answer 1

`(1)/(6)` of the employee's work shift is represented by 2 hours.

Explanation:

A work shift for an employee at a restaurant consists of 12 hours.

Suppose, the fraction of the employee's work shift which is represented by 2 hours
`=x`

So, the equation will be.....

`12x=2\\ \\ x=(2)/(12)\\ \\ x=(1)/(6)`

Thus,
`(1)/(6)` of the employee's work shift is represented by 2 hours.
