What is your question?

To find out how much time Bill spent on each subject, we'll use the information given.

Let's start by finding out how much time Bill estimated he spent on both social studies and literacy homework. According to the estimation, he spent one 8th of his time on both subjects.

We can represent this as a fraction: 1/8.

Now, let's determine the common denominator for the fractions mentioned. The common denominator for 5 and 8 is 40.

To find out how much time Bill spent on social studies, we'll multiply 1/5 by 40:

1/5 * 40 = 8/40

Bill spent 8/40 of his time on social studies.

Similarly, to find out how much time Bill spent on literacy, we'll multiply 1/3 by 40:

1/3 * 40 = 40/120

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

40/120 = 1/3

Bill spent 1/3 of his time on literacy.

Therefore, the breakdown of Bill's time spent on each subject is as follows:

- Social Studies: 8/40
- Literacy: 1/3

Please note that the estimation provided is for both subjects combined, not individually.
