i am in a confused state right now and don't know how to do this. please help. how i would i convert, lets say 1 minute and 24 seconds, or 1:24 to a scale on a graph, or how would I convert 1.24/60 to ?/100?
I know how you feel, being in a confused state. I'm almost always like that in algebra class. Don't trust me on this answer... I'm not positive if this is what you mean.
Do you know about cross multiplication? If you don't, you do now.
Set up an equation like this:
1.24 x
---- (over) = -----
60 100
If you are trying to find what percent 1.24 is of 60, then this will help you. If you aren't, then I'm sorry.
Then, if you are using my way, multiply 1.24 by 100, then divide it by 60, and you get your answer.
Hope I helped!
Let me try again:

Sorry, I can't write it out like it would really look.

These boards don't handle spacing very well (actually everything past the first space is ignored). We usually show dividing like this.
36 divided by 3 = 36/3 = 12
(2x)/4 = (1/2)x = x/2.
Now for your problem.
You don't say why you want to convert but I suspect you typed in the wrong question. If you are talking about 1 minutes 24 seconds (1:24), then converting 1.24 to ??/60 won't do it.
I would convert 1 minute 24 seconds to seconds. That is 60 seconds for the minutes + 24 seconds = 84 seconds, then graph from zero to 84 seconds on a linear scale. If you really are talking about converting 1.24/60 to ??/100, that is done ?? = (1.24*60)/100
I understand that you're looking to convert 1 minute and 24 seconds (1:24) into a scale on a graph, as well as how to convert 1.24/60 to a ratio out of 100. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Converting 1:24 to a scale on a graph:
To convert a time value to a scale on a graph, you need to determine the range of values on the x-axis of your graph and then find the corresponding position for your specific time value.
For example, let's say your x-axis represents time in minutes, and the range is from 0 to 10 minutes. To convert 1:24, you first convert 1 minute to minutes (as the units need to match) - so it's 1 + 24/60 = 1.4 minutes.
Next, you need to scale this value within the range of your graph. In our case, since the range is 0 to 10 minutes, you can calculate the position on the graph using the formula:
position = (converted value / range) * 100
So, for 1.4 minutes in our example:
position = (1.4 / 10) * 100 = 14
Therefore, on your graph, the point corresponding to 1:24 would be located at approximately 14 units along the x-axis.
2. Converting 1.24/60 to ?/100:
To convert the fraction 1.24/60 to a ratio out of 100, you need to follow a similar approach.
First, divide 1.24 by 60 to get the decimal value representing this fraction. Result: 1.24/60 = 0.02066667.
Next, to convert this decimal value to a ratio out of 100, multiply it by 100. So, multiplying 0.02066667 by 100 gives us 2.066667.
Therefore, 1.24/60 is equivalent to 2.066667/100.
Remember to round the final result based on your desired level of precision.
I hope this explanation clarifies the process for you. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
