How do you turn 2 hours and 45 minutes into a mixed number?

Answer 1

So 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour (60 minutes in an hour, 45/60 simplifies to 3/4). That means the mixed number would be 2 3/4 hours.

Answer 2

To turn 2 hours and 45 minutes into a mixed number, you first need to recognize that there are 60 minutes in an hour. So, you can express 2 hours as 2 x 60 = 120 minutes. Then, you add the remaining 45 minutes to get a total of 120 + 45 = 165 minutes. Finally, you divide the total minutes by 60 to get the mixed number: 165 ÷ 60 = 2 with a remainder of 45. Therefore, 2 hours and 45 minutes can be expressed as the mixed number 2 45/60, which simplifies to 2 3/4.
