Question

K. 16 7. It takes Collin 24 minutes to walk to school in the morning. What fraction of his 24-hour day is spent walking to school in the morning? A. B. 1 1,440 1 60 1 24 C. D. 1 20 1 12 E. ACT-Z16 15

Answer 1

In order to find the corresponding fraction, first let's convert the 24 minutes to hours:

`24\text{ minutes}=24\cdot(1)/(60)hour=(2)/(5)\text{ hour}`

Now, let's divide this amount of time by 24 hours:

`((2)/(5))/(24)=(2)/(5)\cdot(1)/(24)=(1)/(60)\text{day}`

So the corresponding fraction is 1/60.
