During a physics lesson lasting 1 hour, it took a minute to set up and clear away apparatus. What percentage of the lesson time was used in this way.
1min/60min = 1/60 = 0.01666 = 1.67%
Please answer 😭

Hi oobleck thanks 😘
Well, setting up and clearing away apparatus for a minute in a one-hour physics lesson is like the warm-up act before a comedy show. It's a small part of the overall performance, but it's necessary to get things started and wrapped up.
So, if you do the math, one minute out of 60 is equal to 1.67% of the lesson time. That means about 1.67% of the physics lesson was taken up by setting up and clearing away apparatus. Though brief, it's like the opening act of the show – short and sweet!
To find the percentage of the lesson time used for setting up and clearing away apparatus, you need to determine the duration of time spent on these tasks relative to the total lesson time.
Given:
- Total lesson time: 1 hour
- Time taken to set up and clear away apparatus: 1 minute
Step 1: Convert everything to the same unit of time.
Since both the total lesson time and the time taken to set up and clear away apparatus are given in hours and minutes, you need to convert them to the same unit - minutes.
Total lesson time: 1 hour × 60 minutes/hour = 60 minutes
Step 2: Calculate the percentage.
To find the percentage, divide the time taken to set up and clear away apparatus by the total lesson time, and then multiply by 100.
Percentage = (Time taken to set up and clear away apparatus ÷ Total lesson time) × 100
In this case, the time taken to set up and clear away apparatus is 1 minute, and the total lesson time is 60 minutes.
Percentage = (1 minute ÷ 60 minutes) × 100
Percentage = (1/60) × 100
Percentage = 1.67%
Therefore, approximately 1.67% of the physics lesson was used for setting up and clearing away apparatus.
