60seconds/1minute 1min./60sec
To convert 250 seconds into minutes, which ratio could you multiply by?
To find the ratio of 24 minutes to 72 seconds, first convert 24 minutes to seconds. Since 1 minute equals 60 seconds, 24 minutes is 24 × 60 = 1440 seconds. Now, the ratio of 1440 seconds to 72 seconds is 1440:72. Simplifying this ratio by dividing both sides by 72 gives 20:1.
1¾ min
The units in the denominator are minutes. Also, since you are asked to omit the number in the answer, the fact that there are 60 seconds in a minute is irrelevant.
90 seconds = 1.5 minutes. So the ratio is 1.5 : 3 or 1:2
seconds
5.25 minutes to seconds = 5.25 to 315 (5.25 : 315).
The units for the denominator is minutes. Also, since the number in the denominator is to be omitted, the number of seconds (in a minute) are totally irrelevant.
