Question

john Smith and Susan Jones own a business together. It was agreed that Susan would work 45 hours per week and spend 15 hours working with customers and the remaining time supervising the employees. What fraction of Susan's time is spent working with customers?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given : The total number of hours Susan work in a week = 45 hours

The total number of hours she need to spend working with customers = 15 hours

Now, the fraction of Susan's time is spent working with customers is given by :-

`\frac{\text{Hours spent with customers}}{\text{Total hours of working}}\\\\(15)/(45)=(1)/(3)`

Hence, the fraction of Susan's time is spent working with customers =
`(1)/(3)`
