To determine the fraction of the week that Elizabeth has taken off, we first need to consider the days involved. In a standard workweek, there are typically five days from Monday to Friday. Elizabeth takes off one day, which is Friday.

In this scenario, the week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. The office is closed on Monday due to Columbus Day, and since she takes off Friday, she is absent from work for one day out of that five-day workweek. To express this as a fraction, we calculate:

- Number of days taken off: 1 (Friday)

- Total number of workdays in the week: 5 (Monday through Friday)
