Question

The water supply in a city is for 3/8 times of the day. What percent of the day is the water supply available to the people?​

Answer 1

Answer:

First step is to find the time water is supplied.

so,

$\frac{3}{8} \times 24 \: (hours \: in \: a \: day) \\ = 3 \times 3 \\ = 9 \: hours \: a \: day$

So now to find the percentage:

$\frac{9}{24} \times 100 \\ = 37.5$

So to conclude, the percentage is 37.5%
