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
30 minutes = 1/2 hour(30 minutes)/(1 hour) = 1/2
3/5
to convert a distance of 4500 yards to miles which ration could you multiply by
60 minutes/1 hour
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.
60min/1hour
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.
The ratio is 60 minutes :1 hour.
Minutes : Hour = 60 : 1
60 to 1
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.
Yes.
You would use: 135/60 = 2 hours 15 minutes or 2.25 hours
That is true. 1/60 is the ratio. To convert 25 hours to minutes, you would multiply 25 by 60, which equals 1500 minutes.
you could convert 4 hours to 240 minutes, and then simplify from there, but not if you want to keep minutes and hours seperated. Hope this helped! :)
