Question

during an 8-hour work day, miles spent 2 hours in a meeting. write the ratio and percent of the work day miles spent in a meeting

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio

The total work day is 8 hours and the time spent in meeting is 2 hours. The ratio of time spent in meeting to total work day is $\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$.

Step2: Find the percentage

To find the percentage, we use the formula $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\%$. Here, part is 2 and whole is 8. So, $\frac{2}{8}\times100\% = 0.25\times100\% = 25\%$.

Answer:

Ratio: $\frac{1}{4}$ (or 1:4), Percentage: 25%
