Question

You spend 20 minutes watching television. You then spend 1 hour reading email. Write the ratio of the amount of time spent watching television to the amount of time spent reading email as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ratio=20:60

Reducing to simplest form,20/60=1:3

Answer 2

1 hour = 60 minutes

20 minutes = 1/4 of 60 minutes, which means 60 minutes = 4/4

when you write ratios, the larger number goes first - 60 minutes out of 15 minutes = 4/1, so the ratio in simplest form is 4:1

hope this helped!
