A painter works for 4 hours every day from Monday to Friday. What fraction of a week does he work?

Given: A painter works for 4 hours every day from Monday to Friday

To find: We have to calculate what fraction of a week does he work.

Solution: 

Number of hours in 1 day = 24

Number of hours in 7 days = 24 $\times $ 7 = 168 hours

Now, given that:

Painter works for 4 hours for 5 days a week. So,

Total number of working hours of painter = 4 $\times $ 5 = 20 hours

Therefore,

$Fraction\ =\ \frac{20}{168}$

$Fraction\ =\ \mathbf{\frac{5}{42}}$

So, painter works  $\mathbf{\frac{5}{42}}$  of a week.
