To express 84 minutes as a fraction of 4 hours, we need to convert both the minutes and hours to a common unit of measurement (either minutes or hours) and then find the fraction.
Step 1:
Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we can convert 4 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
4 hours * 60 minutes = 240 minutes
So, we have 240 minutes as the denominator.
Step 2:
Now, to express 84 minutes as a fraction, we put it over the denominator (240 minutes):
84/240
Step 3:
To simplify the fraction to its lowest terms, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 12.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 12 gives us:
84 ÷ 12 / 240 ÷ 12 = 7/20
Therefore, 84 minutes is equivalent to 7/20 of 4 hours, in lowest terms.
