Question

Write 3 1/2 hours : 36min as a ratio in its simplest form

Answer 1

Explanation:

you can re-write 3 1/2 hours into minutes.

1 hr = 60 minutes,

Therefore:

3 1/2 hours = 3.5 times 60 = 210 minutes

So now we have the ratio:

3 1/2 hours : 36 minutes

210 minutes : 36 minutes

Both numbers can be divided by 6

210/6 = 35 and 36/6 = 6

So now we can re-write the ratio as :

35 : 6
