Answer:

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.
