What fraction of a day is 8 hours? What fraction of an hour is 40 minutes?​

Answer 1

Answer:1/3rd of a day is 8 hours. , the fraction of 40 minutes in an hour = 40/60 = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1 day = 24 hours  

1 hour = 1/24 of a day  

So, 8 hours = (1/24) × 8  

8 hours = 8/24 of a day = 1/3 of a day

1 hour = 60 minutes.

Fraction = 40 minutes/60 minutes  

Fraction = 4/6  

Fraction = 2/3  

Therefore, the fraction of 40 minutes in an hour = 40/60 = 2/3
