The machine was in operation for 9 tenths (in a fraction) of eight hours of working time. How long has he been running?

Result

t =  7.2 h
t₂ = 7:12 h

Step-by-step explanation:

$t={\displaystyle \frac{9}{10}}\cdot 8={\displaystyle \frac{36}{5}}\text{ h}=7.2\text{ h}$

$t_2=t=7.2={\displaystyle \frac{36}{5}}=7.2=7:12\text{ h}$
