The time in hours is 1.80 hours.

The time in hours and minutes is 1 hour and 48 min.

Explanation:

Convert 22 1/2% to its decimal form.

22 1/2%=22.5/100=0.225

Time in Hours

Multiply 8 hours by the decimal form of 22 1/2%.

"8 h"xx0.225="1.80 h"

Time in Hours and Minutes

1.8"min"xx(60"min")/(1"h")=108"minutes"

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, you can subtract 60 minutes from 108 minutes to get the time in hours and minutes.

"108 min"-"60 min"=48"min"

The total time in hours and minutes is 1 hour and 48 min.

1.80 hours

Explanation:

We know you work 8hrs per day, but 22.5% of that is your break time.
To change the percentage to hour we do this
= 8/100

= 0.08

= 0.08 xx 22.5

= 1.80hrs or 1hr and 48min
