Answer:

In any conversion you have to establish ratios (or rates) for the different units being converted.

The process will be performed by a series of multiplications that will cancel out the "unwanted" units.

multiplication by one (1) does not change the value in an equation.

you have to multiply by a "series of ones" that take into account the units being converted..

for example

1 minute/60 seconds or 1 inch = 2.54 cm or 1 day = 24 hours

in your problem you have minutes... lets say you have 100 minutes

100 minutes * 1 hour minutes cancel and you have 100/60 = 1
(2)/(3) hrs

60 minutes
