Explanation:

Step1: Convert hours to minutes

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, 8 hours = $8 \times 60 = 480$ minutes

Step2: Set up the ratio

Ratio = $\frac{45}{480}$

Step3: Simplify the ratio

Find GCD of 45 and 480, which is 15. Divide numerator and denominator by 15:
$\frac{45 \div 15}{480 \div 15} = \frac{3}{32}$
