Last Friday Tony worked for 7 1/2 hours. Express this time as a fraction of the day. Explain and show yore work

Answer:

7 1/2 hours is 5/16 of a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the hours in mixed number to improper fraction:

7 1/2 hours = 15/2 hours

There are 24 hours in a day, so as fraction:

(15/2) / 24

To divide fraction, multiply the dividend 7  1/2  by the reciprocal of divisor 24:

(15/2) × (1/24) = 15/48

Simplify 15/48 by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF 3:

15/48 = 5/16

7 1/2 hours is 5/16 of a day.
