The hard part is the 12 minutes. 12 mins is what fraction of 1 hour? 60 minutes in an hour so 12 min is 12/60 simplify the fraction (12 and 60 are both multiples of 12 so divide numerator and denominatro by 12. 12/60 = 1/5 so 12 minutes is 1/5 of an hour for a decimal answer, you need to express 1/5 in tenths 1/5 = 2/10 (multiply numerator and denominator by 2) 2/10 is 0.2 so 3 hours 12 min is 3hours and 0.2 hours = 3.2 hours
Oh, dude, 5 minutes is like a fraction of an hour. So, 5 minutes out of 60 minutes in an hour is like 5/60. And if you simplify that, it's like 1/12. So, yeah, 5 minutes is 1/12 of an hour. Cool, right?
