3 hours is 1/8 of a full day.
3 hours divided by 24 (hours in a day) = 3/24 = 1/8
(This could vary with the number of hours in the "day" you are considering: a full day, day as opposed to night, or a work day.)

To determine what fraction of the day is 9 hours, we first need to establish how many hours are in a day. Since a day consists of 24 hours, we can express 9 hours as a fraction of the day by dividing 9 by 24. This simplifies to 3/8. Therefore, 9 hours is 3/8 or three-eighths of a day.
8 hours is one-third of a day. If the time period is 8 hours, the fraction of a day is 8 divided by 24 (hours in a day). 8/24 = 1/3
24 hours in a day therefore 9 hours = 9/24 or 3/8
8 hours : day = 8 hours : 24 hours = 1 : 3
A whole day is 24 hours. So a fraction of a day is a fraction of 24 hours - to convert the fraction to hours, multiply it by 24: For example ½ a day is ½ × 24 hours = 12 hours. 1/5 day is 1/5 × 24 hours = 4 4/5 hours or 4.8 hours. In this case the fraction of an hour can be converted into minutes as there are 60 minutes in an hour: multiply by 60. So the 4/5 hour becomes 4/5 × 60 minutes = 48 minutes. Thus 1/5 day = 4 hours 48 minutes. To convert hours to a fraction of a day, as there are 24 hours in a day, put the number of ours as the numerator over 24 as the denominator, and then simplify. For example 3 hours is 3/24 = 1/8 day; For example 5 hours is 5/24 day (this is a simple as it gets as 5 and 24 have no common factor other than 1).
