Eight friends attend a read-a-thon. They take turns reading aloud for a total of 3 hours. If each friend reads for the same.Amount of time, what fraction of an hour does each friend spend reading?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Each friend took [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] fraction of an hour to spend reading.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Total time taken to read = 3 hours

Number of friends = 8

It is required to find the fraction of time taken by each friend to spend reading.

Since, we have,

8 people reads in 3 hours.

So, 1 person will read in [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] hours.

Thus, each friend took [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] fraction of an hour to spend reading.
