Answer:

It just is see explanation

Explanation:

75% is equal to 0.75, or 3/4. If you multiply the full 60 minutes to 3/4, then your product is 45 minutes. That's how 75% of 60 minutes is 45 minutes.

Answer: 75% of a number is the same thing as 3/4 of the number.

so for example, divide 100 by 4. you get 25 right?

right, so multiply 25 by 3 and you get 75. That's what 3/4 of something is.

now divide 60 by 4. you get 15 right?

right, so multiply 15 by 3, and you get 45 :)))

that's why 75% of 60 is 45.

i hope this helps!!

BTW when you get a question with percentages, you can flip them! In this case it doesn't really help to do so, but for example if you had a question asking:

what is 16% of 50?

FLIP IT. it's the same thing as 50% of 16!!! This works with like any percentage!!!
