A fraction is a numerical representation of a part of a whole. In the context of a job, it represents the amount of work that has been completed compared to the total amount of work that needs to be done.
To calculate the fraction of the job done, you need to divide the amount of work that has been completed by the total amount of work. This will give you a decimal number, which can then be converted to a fraction if needed.
Yes, the fraction of the job done can be greater than 1. This would mean that more work has been completed than what was originally planned. It is also possible to have a fraction of the job done that is less than 1, meaning that there is still work left to be completed.
The best way to track the fraction of the job done is to keep a record of the work that has been completed and the total amount of work that needs to be done. This can be done through a spreadsheet or project management software.
The accuracy of the fraction of the job done can be affected by factors such as changes in the scope of work, unexpected delays, and human error. It is important to regularly reassess and update the fraction of the job done as the project progresses.
