The correct answer is 1 minute.
To find out what amount of time 1% of an hour represents, we need to calculate 1% of 60 minutes (the number of minutes in an hour).
To calculate this, we can convert 1% to a decimal. 1% is equivalent to 0.01 (since 1% = 1/100 = 0.01).
Multiplying 0.01 by 60 minutes, we get:
0.01 x 60 minutes = 0.6 minutes
Therefore, 1% of an hour represents 0.6 minutes.
To find out what amount of time 1% of an hour represents, you can first calculate how many seconds are in an hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute, you can multiply 60 by 60 to get the total number of seconds in an hour, which is 3600 seconds.
Next, you can calculate 1% of 3600 seconds by multiplying 3600 by 0.01 (since 1% is equivalent to 0.01). The result is 36 seconds.
Therefore, 1% of an hour represents 36 seconds.
