Question

Write the ratio as a fraction in lowest terms44 minutes to 5 hours

Answer 1

Let's convert hours to minutes:

`\begin{gathered} 5\text{hours}*\frac{60\text{minutes}}{1\text{hours}} \\ =300\text{minutes} \end{gathered}`

Now we have:

44 minutes to 300 minutes

We write the ratio as a fraction:

`(44)/(300)`

We can reduce both the numerator and denominator by 4, to get:

`\begin{gathered} (44)/(300) \\ =(11)/(75) \end{gathered}`

The correct answer is:

`(11)/(75)`
