a) D = 0.625 Decimal that describes the portion of the workday he has finished

b) P = D*100 = 0.625*100=62.5%

P: percentaje

D: Decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Nomenclature

F: fraction of daily workday

D: decimal of daily workday

P: percentage of daily workday

Formulas

F = a/b

D = a:b

P = D*100

Problem development

We have:

F = 5/8, then:

D = 5:8 = 0.625

To obtain the percentage of the workday that Matew has completed, we multiply the decimal x 100

P = 0.625*100=62.5%
