Question

Divide 1 hour in the ratio 1:5

Answer 1

Answer: 12:60

Step-by-step explanation: To find the ratio, we must take 1 h and turn it into minutes. So as we know, it's 60 minutes. So next, we shall change the ratio into fraction form (don't worry it's the same basic format)

`(1)/(5) = (?)/(60)`

So with that given information, we know that 60 would be our denominator. So, we need to divide both denominators, and then whatever we get from that, multiply that by the given numerator. So, we would do:

60 / 5

= 12

12 * 1

= 12

Therefore we now know that 1/5 = 12/60 as a ratio. I hope this helped :)

Answer 2

Answer: ratio of 1: 10mins

ratio of 5: 50mins

Explanation:

The ratio of 1:

`(1)/(6)` x 60 (hours should be converted to minutes therefore it is 60 mins and

the denominator seen here is taken by adding the two values in the

given ratio and since we're still finding 1 you should divide 1 by the

added denominator and the same applies when finding the ratio 5)

Answer= 10mins

The ratio of 5:

`(5)/(6)` x 60 (refer to the underlined explanation above)

answer= 50mins

so if you want to verify you add the two values you got to see if you got 60 as 60mins in hours was divided in ratio so when you add it will be 60 which means your answer is correct!
