Uhmm... This is kinda confusing because i don't know how to solve solving problems.
3/24 or 1/8 I think.
To find the fraction of the day used in marketing every Saturday, we need to compare the time spent on marketing to the total duration of a day.
Let's assume a day has 24 hours.
On each marketing day, mother and Claire spend 3 hours, including travel time. So, the fraction of the day used in marketing is 3/24.
To express this fraction in its lowest term, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (3) and the denominator (24). In this case, both 3 and 24 can be divided evenly by 3.
Dividing both 3 and 24 by 3 yields:
3 ÷ 3 = 1
24 ÷ 3 = 8
Therefore, the fraction of the day used in marketing every Saturday, expressed in its lowest term, is 1/8.
