Answer 2

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of hours Susan work in a week = 45 hours

The total number of hours she need to spend working with customers =  15 hours

Now, the fraction of Susan's time is spent working with customers is given by :-

$\dfrac{\text{Hours spent with customers}}{\text{Total hours of working}}\\\\\dfrac{15}{45}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Hence, the fraction of Susan's time is spent working with customers = $\dfrac{1}{3}$
