Question

A work shift for an employee at a restaurant consists of 8 hours. What fraction of the​ employee's work shift is represented by 6 ​hours? ​(Simplify your​ answer.)

Answer 1

6 hours represents
`(3)/(4)` of the 8-h work shift.

Explanation:

The fraction of the employee's work shift is equal to the given time divided by the work shift. That is:

`x = (6\,h)/(8\,h)`

`x = (6)/(8)`

`x = (3)/(4)`

6 hours represents
`(3)/(4)` of the 8-h work shift.
