Question

Mr Thompson cut the grass on the golf course 1.683 minutes. How many hours did it take to cut the grass? Write the answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

1.683 minutes = 0.02085 hours

Explanation:

1 hour is equivalent to 60 minutes

60 minutes = 1 hour

`\text{1 minute = }(1)/(60)\text{ hours}\\\\\implies\text{1.683 minutes = }(1)/(60)* 1.683\text{ hours}\\\\=0.02805\text{ hours}`

Now, to give the answer as a mixed number : Convert the answer obtained in decimal into fraction

`\implies (2805)/(100000)\text{ Hours}`

But as the numerator is less than the denominator so the answer cannot be expressed as a mixed number.
