The trick to choosing the correct ratio for a conversion problem is to set it up so that the units that you do not want will get cancelled out, leaving the units that you do want. To do this, multiply by a fraction that has the units you want in the numerator and the units you want to get rid of in the denominator. Make sure that the numerator equals the denominator. If they are equal, the fraction is equal to one, and multiplying something by one does not change it.
Since we're getting rid of minutes and looking for hours, we want to multiply by (1 hr / 60 min), which is the same as dividing by 60 minutes per hour (60 min/hr).
6.1 min ÷ 60 min/hr ≈ 0.102 hr
Multiply the ratio by 100 and convert to decimal form (or convert and then multiply).
Convert the ratio to fraction first, then convert the fraction to decimal. Example: ratio = 3 : 4 3 : 4 = 3/4 = 0.75
To convert 0.5 miles to yards, you would use the ratio of 1 mile to 1760 yards. Therefore, you would multiply 0.5 by 1760 to find the equivalent distance in yards. The calculation would be: 0.5 miles × 1760 yards/mile = 880 yards.
30 minutes = 1/2 hour(30 minutes)/(1 hour) = 1/2
3/5
To convert hours to minutes, you would use the ratio 1 hour = 60 minutes. Therefore, to convert 2.4 hours to minutes, you can multiply 2.4 by 60 to get 144 minutes.
60 minutes/1 hour
60min/1hour
To convert hours into minutes, you can use the ratio of 60 minutes per hour. Therefore, to convert 2.4 hours into minutes, you multiply 2.4 by 60. The calculation is: 2.4 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 144 minutes.
To convert minutes to hours, you use the ratio of 1 hour to 60 minutes. Therefore, to convert 366 minutes to hours, you would divide 366 by 60. This calculation gives you 6.1 hours, or 6 hours and 6 minutes.
To convert hours to minutes, you use the ratio of 60 minutes per 1 hour. Therefore, to convert 25 hours to minutes, you would multiply 25 by 60. This results in 25 hours equaling 1,500 minutes.
To convert hours into minutes, you can multiply by the ratio of 60 minutes per hour. Therefore, to convert 0.73 hours into minutes, you would multiply 0.73 by 60. This gives you 43.8 minutes.
The ratio is 60 minutes :1 hour.
Minutes : Hour = 60 : 1
60 to 1
To find the ratio of 190 minutes to 2 hours, first convert 2 hours into minutes. Since 1 hour equals 60 minutes, 2 hours is 120 minutes. The ratio of 190 minutes to 120 minutes is 190:120, which simplifies to 19:12.
To convert 75 minutes to hours, you would use the ratio of 1 hour to 60 minutes. Therefore, you divide 75 minutes by 60 minutes per hour, which results in 1.25 hours. Thus, 75 minutes is equivalent to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
