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.
