Step-by-step explanation:

A castle has to be guarded 24 hours a day. 7 knights are ordered to split each day guard duty equally. How long will each knight spend on guard duty in one day?

From the above question:

7 knights = 24 hours

1 knight = x hours

Cross Multiply

7 knights × x hours = 1 knight × 24 hours

x hours = 1 knight × 24 hours/ 7 knights

x hours = 3.4285714286 hours

Approximately = 3.43 hours

Therefore, each knight would spend 3.43 hours on guard duty in one day
