Well, honey, 5 minutes out of 60 minutes in an hour is simply 5/60. And if you simplify that fraction, you get 1/12. So, there you have it, 5 minutes is 1/12 of an hour. Hope that clears things up for ya!
To find the total number of minutes in 5 hours and 1 quarter hour, we first convert 5 hours to minutes by multiplying by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour): 5 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 300 minutes. Then, we add the 15 minutes in 1 quarter hour to get the final total: 300 minutes + 15 minutes = 315 minutes. Therefore, there are 315 minutes in 5 hours and 1 quarter hour.
One hour consists of 60 minutes. Therefore, our fraction we need is 48/60.If we put 48/60 into a calculator, we obtain 0.8.0.8 as a fraction of 1 is 4/5. Thus, 48 minutes is 4/5 of 60.A good knowledge of the 12 times table removes the need for the calculator in thus example (12,24,36,48,60...).
1 hour = 60 minutes So 3/5 hour = 60*3/5 = 180/5 = 36 minutes.
