Find out how many hours he works per week:
Monday to Friday is 5 days thus
5*4 hours = 20 hours
Find out how many total hours there are in a week:
There are 7 days in a week, 24 hours in a day thus
7*24 hours = 168 hours
Write as a fraction:
20/168
Simplify:
5/42
The painter works 5/42 of the week.
