On Saturday, Jim spoke for 3/8 of an hour, and on Sunday, he spoke for half an hour.
To add these fractions together, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 2 is 8.
So 3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8. This means Jim spent a total of 7/8 of an hour talking with his friends over the weekend.
Now, we can determine the fraction of that time spent talking to Liam. Jim spoke to Liam for 1/8 of an hour.
To find the fraction of time Jim spent talking to Liam, we divide the time Jim spent talking to Liam by the total time he spent talking with his friends:
(1/8) รท (7/8) = 1/8 * 8/7 = 1/7.
Therefore, Jim spent 1/7 of the time talking with his friends talking to Liam.
