Answer 2

Answer: 375 minutes.

Explanation:

Let for 6 hours 15 minutes there are x minutes.

That is ,
`6(15)/(60)\text { hours} = x\text { minutes}`

⇒
`6(1)/(4)\text { hours}= x\text { minutes}`

⇒
`(25)/(4)\text { hours}= x\text { minutes}`

⇒
`25\text { hours}= 4x\text { minutes}`

⇒
`1\text { hour}= (4x)/(25)\text { minutes}`

But, According to the question,

1 hour = 60 minutes.

`(4x)/(25)= 60`

`4x = 1500`

`x= 375`

Thus, There are 375 minutes in 6 hours and 15 minutes
