we know an hour is 60 minutes, so let's use 4/5 of 60 minutes


\cfrac{4}{5}\cdot 60\implies \underset{mins}{48}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{48 mins 6 times}}{6\cdot 48\implies \underset{mins}{288}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{converting back to hrs}}{\cfrac{288}{60}\implies \cfrac{24}{5}\implies \underset{hrs}{4(4)/(5)}}
