Answer 1

Answer:

He work $\frac{1}{6}$ hours.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A painter works for 4 hours everyday from Monday to Friday.

To find : What fraction of a week does he work?

Solution :

From Monday to Friday number of days are 5 days.

We know, 1 day = 24 hours

So, 5 days = $5\times 24$ hours

5 days = 120 hours.

A painter works for 4 hours everyday.

i.e. 1 day he work = 4 hours

5 days work = $5\times 4$ hours

5 days = 20 hours.

Comparing both the time,

In fraction he work, $\frac{20}{120}$ hours.

or He work $\frac{1}{6}$ hours.
