you spend 3 hours everyday practicing the piano what fraction of a day do you spend practicing the piano? give your answer in simplest form
Well, there are 24 hours in a day. If you spend 3 out of those 24 hours playing the piano, we can write that as a fraction:
$$\frac{3}{24}$$
Well, we can simplify that. Let's ask ourselves two questions: What are the factors of 24? Is 3 a factor of 24?
Well, here's some factors of 24:
1*24
2*12
3*8
4*6
Which one has 3? Right, 3*8! So, let's rewrite this equation to:
$$\frac{3/3}{24/3}$$ which becomes $$\frac{1}{8}$$ when solved.
So, the answer is 1/8 of the day.
