Question

the following argument illustrates which fallacy? there are 365 days in the year, but the average person only works 8 hours a day. thats one - third of a 24 - hour day. so the average person only works the equivalent of one - third of 365 days—that is, about 122 days. however, the average person doesnt work on the weekends. this means 2 days off a week. there are 52 weeks in a year, so there are 104 days off per year. subtracting this from 122 days leaves only 18 days. but the average person gets at least this many days off each year between holidays and vacation time. so the average person doesnt work at all. the bandwagon fallacy an appeal to false authority the fallacy of equivocation the straw man fallacy

Explanation:

The argument misrepresents the concept of working days by double - counting days off. It first calculates an equivalent number of working days based on hours worked per day and then subtracts weekends and vacation days in a way that is not logically sound. This is an example of the fallacy of equivocation as it uses terms (like "days off") in a misleading and inconsistent way to reach an absurd conclusion.

Answer:

the fallacy of equivocation
