Answer 1

15 / 3600

Step-by-step explanation:

15 / 3600

Answer 2

15 seconds x (1 hour/3600 seconds)

Step-by-step explanation:

By the factor label method. There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour.

15 seconds x (1 minute/60 seconds) x (1 hour/60 minutes) = your answer

Soon enough you'll realize that 60x60=3600 and so there are 3600 seconds in 1 hour. Then you will only need 1 conversion ratio;

15 seconds x (1 hour/3600 seconds) = your answer
