Question

If you spent 24 weeks working on a project for your job and are rewarded with 8 days of vacation, write the ratioof time on vacation to time working as a fraction in lowest terms.

Answer 1

We are asked to calculate the ratio between the vacation days and the working weeks. To calculate this ratio, we simply divide vacation time (8 days) by the working weeks (24). So we get

`(8)/(24)=(4)/(12)=(1)/(3)`

This means that for every worked week, you earn 1 day of vacations.
