How would I convert percentages into an 8 hour day? for example if I worked 17% of my 8 hour work day on one task and 14% of my 8 hour work day on another task how would I convert these into hours or minutes spent on each task? I have multiple tasks that equal 100% of an 8 hour work day I need to know how to convert percentages to hours. Thank you in advance

To take a percentage of a quantity, you multiply the percentage times that quantity. So, for example, $17\%$ of $8 \ \mathrm{hr}$ is
$$ \left( 17\% \right) \left( 8 \ \mathrm{hr} \right) = \left( 0.17 \right) \left( 8 \ \mathrm{hr} \right) = 1.36 \ \mathrm{hr}$$
Remember, per cent literally translates to “per hundred,” and the symbol $\%$ simply stands in for $\div100$.
Can you take the rest from here?
