Shannon takes off Wednesday through Friday the week of Columbus Day. What fraction of the week has she taken?

3/5 (60%)
One week
3/4 (75%)
2/5 (40%)

The correct answer is: 3/5 (60%)

To determine the fraction of the week that Shannon has taken off, it's important to analyze the days involved. A standard week consists of 7 days, from Monday to Sunday. In this scenario, Shannon is taking off from Wednesday to Friday, which encompasses a total of 3 days: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. To find the fraction of the week represented by these 3 days, you divide the number of days taken off by the total number of days in a week. This calculation looks like: 3 days taken off / 7 total days in a week = 3/7. When analyzing the provided answer choices, the selected option reflects a misunderstanding of the total days in a week since the correct calculation indicates Shannon took 3 out of 7 days off, but that option wasn't available. Therefore, the correct understanding involves recognizing that a week has 7 days, and Shannon took off 3 of them, culminating in the fraction 3/7. You can further conclude this by noting that 3 out of 7 does not equate to 3/5, which would suggest 5 days in the workweek scenario, excluding the weekend. Ultimately, the correct fraction of a week Shannon took off is better
