Question

Express 36 minutes as a fraction of an hour: 36 minutes = _______ hour

Answer 1

`(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

Express 36 as a fraction out of 60, that is

36 minutes =
`(36)/(60)` ← divide numerator/ denominator by 12

36 minutes =
`(3)/(5)` of an hour

Answer 2

36 minute will be equal to 0.6 hour

Explanation:

We have given time = 36 minutes

We have to convert this into hour

We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes

So 1 minute
`=(1)/(60)=0.0166hour`

So for converting 36 minutes in hour we have to multiply 36 with 0.0166

So 36 minutes
`=36* 0.0166=0.6hour`

So 36 minute will be equal to 0.6 hour
